Some kind of spray is a bad idea i have figured out.
But something electrical mechanism or anything else would be good. Think you have to be creative and figure out something brand new to find the solutions..
Shotgun works fine, but its to heavy and large plus illegal some places.
I have no idea.
A loud voice and some knowledge of dog psychology is the best weapon you have.
Think of it this way: Dogs have been hanging around people for 10,000+ years. They look at us as their pack. We humans also know how yummy we can be to predators and have taken steps to make sure that the predators we have in our homes don't eat us. In other words, a dog that will kill, or even injure, a human doesn't usually get much chance to pass on its traits to offspring. In other words, we kill them before they kill us. We've selected them so that they are cowardly.
Use that to your advantage. As a dog charges, stop your bike and yell 'NO!' or 'GET LOST' or 'F*** OFF' or just about anything...just make it loud. Most dogs will stop and think about it and give up. Plus you are stopped and no longer something worth chasing. For the few that might not stop and keep coming, whacking them with a wheel in the nose will send them packing
