Murphy's Law If anything can go wrong -- it will.
Corollary - If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.
So, assuming for the sake of argument that the "best" possible time to be bitten by a dog would be when wearing dog bite resistant boots, then it is safe to say the worst time to be bitten by a dog would be when going barefoot and while wearing flip flops only slightly less worse.
Dogs love to chase cyclists and try to bite, so by wearing flip flops or going barefoot while cycling, you are tempting fate and asking for the universe to punish you.

In fact, I consider this to be overly optimistic!
