Which is worse
1) Being chased by a dog
No big deal. I can outrun most, scare off the ones I can't.
2) Pedal strike
Can't remember the last time I had one under normal riding conditions.
3) Pedal strike while being chased by mans best friend

Had this happen once a few years ago, caused a nasty fall. I was so overcome with rage that I wasn't aware of my injuries for several minutes. I wanted to kill the dog but it ran off. Hobbled 2 miles home in the dark scraped and bloodied with torn clothes and a broken bike. Rode by the same spot later in the week during the day to see if I could find the house and dog but never did. Now I deliberately force myself to be calm around aggressive dogs so this does not happen again.
