Dogs no, but loads of damn flies in the sunset hours are for sure, and had a couple of big fat bees.Dudee said:As a teenager in Kansas,when I ride the home owners on the country roads let there dogs roam freely, I want to know if a dog/dogs have ever caught any of you guys(or any other animals ) have fun with this thread, tell stories and keep this one going.
I'm gonna have to ask you to take this post over to the "Has a Pig ever caught you?" thread.cgilker said:I've been chased by pigs, three of them. Damn, if pigs can't run faster than I thought. I was with my wife, going uphill (of course) and tried to get in between the pigs and my wife's bike. I just kept yelling at her "ride faster" but we had hybrids at the time, and they don't go that fast. Finally, I squirted them with the water bottle, and they lost interest.
Now why the he** weren't the pigs fenced off?
Always keep your water bottle topped off. Works with most dogs, too.
I was never 'caught' by a dog, but on a slow bike path, a dumb broad with SIX dogs off leash didn't control them and one went right in front of me. I hit it with my front wheel, went over the bars. Lost some skin. Dog wasn't hurt (thankfully) But I wanted to deck that stupid *****, the one with two legs.Dudee said:As a teenager in Kansas,when I ride the home owners on the country roads let there dogs roam freely, I want to know if a dog/dogs have ever caught any of you guys(or any other animals ) have fun with this thread, tell stories and keep this one going.

As a youngster I had a run-in with a big Lab. The dog jumped up and bit me squarely in the a$$ and held on. I was on an old Schwinn 2 speed battleship of a bike at the time. I drug him about 50 feet before the jeans and skin gave way and he came loose. Had about a 2 mile detour to get back to the house. Blood running down my leg and all. The incident was reported and the dog was hauled off. This same dog would chase cars and try to bite the wheels. He could run a good half mile at top speed before giving up the chase. In later years I had another dog, a big Chow, try to chase me on horseback. I just let my trusty old "dog hating" horse launch a few good kicks and send the dog into the middle of next week.Conniebiker said:I always had these 2 dogs that guarded the trailhead in my nieghborhood growing up. Both muts, both lazy. The one had a vendetta against me for getting past him so much(he slept way more than is good for a guard) and the other was a freindly old lab.
One time I decided to stop and try the freindly thing and pet the lab. The other one came over and without me realizing latched on the heel of my riding shoe. The Cannondale shoe is so tough that I didn't even notice until I went to pedal away and I felt this wieght on it.
KICK!!
Not a problem.
Hey dan were you riding with me at beattyCyclist14 said:Once I was riding MTB's with a friend, we were on a single track and we had come down a steep hill. We stopped for a minute and looked at a nearby house, three dobermans ran out of the house and began barking at us. we turned around and I ran up the hill pushing the bike because the hill was about 40% grade. The dogs didn't give chase and we were very glad.
