Training, and proper exercize. Seriously, I think that both the owners and dogs would benefit from a bit of both in most cases. I don't have a really long or strenuous commute, so I jog a couple miles with my puppy when I get home and I let her run in the park at our turn-around point until she's worn all the crazy out of herself. She's calm after that, and won't even try to chase bunnies or birds.
The only time my puppy barks at a bike is when I don't turn off my Superflash before bringing my bike inside. She absolutely
hates that thing!
