A diversionary tactic.
"If you lay down with dogs you wake up with a hangover and a desire to poke out both eyes."
Used to bop them on the head with a long frame pump--preferably with a steel Campy head. Obviously, compact pumps and CO2 inflaters are not as effective.Cycler6n said:whats a good way to scare them off when they start chasing you?

I had a friend who used an old road sprinter tactic--pull the dog out into the road and then chop towards the curb or other immovable object. In one case it was a utility pole that the dog ran into head-on.
On one of my rides a large American standard poodle liked to chase me, but he was friendly and just wanted someone to run with for a while.

I get chased on occasion. Depending on the type of dog I'll squirt them with my water bottle, yell at them, or sprint like hell (I'm not about to stop and get off my bike)!
I know of one who simply likes to "race me". She's a hoot! That little sucker can clip along at 23 mph!
I once drilled a Rotwiler in the face with my frame pump.
I sort of hate to bring this up, but here in the US we have alligators, a very close relative to crocs, and they tend to go after things that are rather odorous. Just a suggestion, does your son wear a lot of dead chicken scented cologne?James Bruce Gil said:RR, We were camping in the bush on one occasion, and the only saltwater crocodile within fifty miles decided to rummage through his tent in the middle of the night.
This is very unusual behaviour for a crocodile, since we were some distance from the river and they are very territorial. The beast had walked past other tents to have a go at his!
Kind regards,

I think I wouold cross this route off until that dog dies. No matter how nice the climb is, you can't enjoy it with half of your leg missing .dbackmtg said:I pass by this house with a rottweiler(sp) chained to a dog house. He's on one of my favorite climbs. I've probably passed him 15 to 20 times this year. Each time he pulls at his house and barks like mad. This dog is extremely large, even for a rotty. Tonight I went riding by and he did his usual tugging and barking and the next thing I know he's right beside me ready to take a bite of my leg. All I could do was yell at the dog. There was no way I was going to outrun him going uphill. Thankfully the owner heard my yelling and came out and called the dog off. It scared the **** out of me. I wish everyone could see the size of this chain that the dog was tied to. It is heavy duty chain, the kind you would pull a stump out with. I don't know how he broke it? It is one big dog!

I get chased by dogs all the time, and the best way to get rid of them is to spray them with whatever is in your waterbottle (gatorade really stings their eyes) .Cycler6n said:whats a good way to scare them off when they start chasing you?

James Bruce Gil said:KdL,
Quite often dogs become savage because they are tied up and don't get enough exercise.
If the Rotty was allowed enough room to move about and mark out a patch inside his master's property he would very likely not be so nasty.
