I've been commuting to and from work just over a week, and I've run into a little problem. Along my route is a little dog who is allowed to run loose, and it harasses me as I cycle by. I don't want to get bitten, nor do I want to hurt the dog. I tried ignoring it one time and yelling loudly another time, but neither had much effect. I have to do the serpentine curve swerve to avoid the critter. Does anyone have a suggestion that won't get me hurt or hurt the dog so I can avoid it? I like dogs, but this one just doesn't like me! Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks all for your advice, Missy
