Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ammonia. Household is good enough. I've used industrial ammonia cut 50% one or twice. It is soul satisfying to catch a dog inches from your front wheel, then see him pawing at his eyes. Or to hear the wop, wop, wop of the ears of a young lab ready to hover.

PS. A pellet gun works wonders, but cumbersome.

I had a dog a quarter mile down the road from my home that chased me every time. Once I started plinking him, he just lay still and watched me ride by.

The action at a distance thing is also helpful in many ways for teaching life's lessons.

I figured you were pretty good at mathing, since you got to 2412 all by yourself.

If you think my dog chases me than you obviously haven't met him yet.

i just know 24 is a case of beer and 12 is a 12 pack of beer. Used to be my PIN in high school, b/c most of my HS interests were alcohol focused.
