What are they the neighbors dogs running free? Call animal control??
-
NO......Just random dogs that I just happen to ride down the road in front of. My neighbors learned years ago that I dont tolerate free runners.

Pepper spray. Couple of times getting shot, they'll figure it out. Keep it handy on my bicycle. There's a couple of kinds out, foam and spray. Foam's good against humans, but if you're riding a spray is probably better as you can fog the area, deterring the quadruped.

Tell the police (or animal control)... "I'm going to shoot that dog if it comes at me again." See if that gets them to do something about it. If not... um... shoot it  Or, maybe not. Sorry for the canine capers by you.

If you tell the police this, they may well do something serious. It may not involve a dog.

I had an experience with such a dog, real vicious critter, when training for a cross-country bicycle trip. I confronted the owner, told him if the dog came after me again I would shoot it. I then called county animal control and told them exactly what I told the owner. The county told me they would make a "wellness visit" to the owner. The dog disappeared.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Like the hornet spray, or a rubber hose across the snout. Used to have that problem on snowmobiles. A 20 inch whip of welding cable put a stop to most dogs legging you.
Final solution shoot it.

Sell your bike and buy a slingshot

pepper spray is readily available at Walmart. Not many animals will come at you for a second round of it.
Those who say " I can't" will always be right.

Give Peace A Chance. Carry some dog treats in your pocket to throw to the offending k-9s and before you know it you will be petting and playing with the dogs. Win win for all!  cueman

This is going to sound cruel but it won't hurt if diluted, it'll only be a shocker.
Get yourself a water pistol and add 95% water and 5% bleach.
Don't aim for their eyes aim for their nose.
GrandPappy taught me that over 60 years ago when I delivered papers on my bicycle.

My dad taught me the same thing, only it was ammonia. He used to carry a squirt gun of it in a holster, on his rides. Got my first mc when I was 7yo and a paper route when 11yo. Had my own squirt gun.

True story.
Years ago I was bicycling on a country road with some friends. As we passed a house, a boy and a dog charged out the front door. The boy yelled something to the effect of, "Go get 'em, Spot!" The (scary) dog flew out towards us.... and was flattened by a car. We rode on, leaving the boy standing there.

(3) of us residences lived on a country, dead end, dirt road. Me in the middle. Neighbors between me and the HWY had a pit bull that would run beside and the pull in behind me no matter what I was driving. Neighbors seemed to encourage him and did nothing about it. Pulling the boat to the lake one day, dog comes out, runs beside, and goes to pull in behind. Trailer tires runs over him. He is laying in the road bleeding heavy out of his mouth, convulsing, and pretty battered up. Neighbors were not home. Went to my vehicle and got the 44 and put him out of his misery. Neighbors didn't talk to me for years. They thought I should have taken him to the vet, 30min away. Later, not sure they would have paid me back, as they also thought it was my fault he got run over.
Regards,
Don
