The trick with geese is never to appear afraid of them. There were geese on my ride today. If you aim for them, they figure out that they're going to lose any confrontations. Make some roaring noises too. They can't
possibly hurt you, unless you get one in the spokes. They have round beaks and no claws, and they weigh what, 20 lbs? Be the aggressor, and you won't have any more trouble with them.
When I'm on foot and geese start getting aggressive at me, I open my arms up wide & high, roar at them, and charge. It literally scares the crap out of them and they turn tail pretty quickly.
