Thanks, that looks like what I was hunting. I may order one. I'll try the ruberband idea sam mentioned first. I went for a short 12 mile ride yesterday afternoon. Waiting for the wind to die down a little but it was still windy. Anyways I went on a road I have not been on in a while. I had 2 dogs from one yard and 3 from the other side chacing me at one point (all size dogs too). I decided to stop and see what happened. they all just sat down and kept barking. I walked my bike on past because I figgured getting back on would trigger more chacing. Then on down the road just a bit a small dog gave chace. I stopped again. he sat down and continued his barking. The lady of the house came on her out on her porch and hollered that he wont bit. I said OK, I'll be gone an a second. Just didnt want to run over him. Anyways, as windy as it was and with several around at the first stop, it would have been hard to use the spray. I had it handy in my jacket pocket though and in my hand as I stopped both times. Thanks for all the responces and tips. much appreciated. I'm not sure how much I trust just stopping but it did seem to work. I think I'll keep the spray handay in any case. If on a slight downhill I might just sped up but it seems like I see more dogs when I'm going uphill.
