I had a pretty nasty fall after being attacked by a pit bull a year ago. Never considered myself sheepish or fearful in life or cycling but this event changed me. I used to never give dogs a second thought but this crash resulted in a concussion, fractured rib and lots of skin and blood loss. A year later I still feel the fear when I hear a dog coming. On tonight's ride a large black lab/ shepherd mix chased me down for 1/2 a mile. I used to think this crap was fun but when you have been hurt, the natural response is caution and fear.
