Ah yes... this morning on my commute a guy was on the MUP with his two dogs... neither on a leash. I rang my bell.. no response, I yelled "on your left!".. no response from the walker but his dogs turned and as i passed the walker (i slowed way down) one chased and bit me on the ankle.. next dog - field goal into the fence! The walker yelled at me, "What do you think you're doing to my dog?" My response, "same thing I'm gonna do to you if I decide to turn around!"
