A few weeks ago, my son and I turned a corner on a residential street and two of the most ferocious canines I'd ever seen charged us from the front yard. Fortunately, they were a pair of chihuahua's, but they were definitely upset at our presence. It was so funny that we actually slowed down to laugh at them. I guess the worst that could have happened would have been to have one jump on my foot and nip my ankle while riding around the crank.
