I don't remember what happened at that point, but I ended up on the shoulder in gravel with the owners trying to help me...
Wow, that sucks and is annoying. I hope you heal up fast, and don't have any more dog problems.
My two daughters and I took our cocker spaniel (Daisy) out for a run with our bikes. A lady's dog ran full tilt at Daisy. My front wheel nailed the assailing dog t-bone like. My bike stopped dead, I flew off and sustained some scrapes and bruises. The dog yelped and ran back into the house from which it and the lady had come. I told the lady, "It's a good thing your dog ran away."
To which she replied, "You startled her!"
To which I replied, "We were riding bicycles!"
To which she replied, "Sorry"
I am glad to say Daisy was unharmed.
