• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Free runnin Dogs!

What ever happened to the old "slow down, then speed up" routine? Throws the dog off-speed. I have whippets and greyhounds, which can top out at 33 mph. Not saying it isn't scary when any dog takes up the chase, but I can't imagine any dog running faster than a moving bike, unless you're still in first gear.

This is actually good advice, the dog will change the intercept angle based on the slower speed and won't be able to react quickly enough to the increase in speed. But on the flipside, who wants to have this as part of their ride prep everyday?!
 
Many years ago I had the same problem. Always wore engineer boots when riding. I applied boot to snout of offending dog. He went yelping down the road.

:agree: much safer, effective and humane. Don't take your hands off the handlebars or your eyes off the road
 
I'd avoid the hornet spray in favor of pepper. The poison in the hornet spray may do more damage than you intend.

We keep a can of hornet spray in each bedroom and hidden close to each door in my daughter's apartment. Have firearms also, but would rather use hornets spray than risk something passing through walls into neighboring apartments. Proven to be a good alternative, intruder disabler.

Regards,

Don
