Re: Recommendations? - Training "Other Peoples" Dogs Not To Chase

Good god!!! Why are cyclists such pansies?!?!

It's a f'n dog....it's not a cougar nor a bear or something really
"dangerous"...you guys are talking about weapons and pepper spray and
such?!?!? (rolls-eyes)

It's pretty rare to find a truly people aggressive dog.....they like to
chase bikes because it's fun....or b/c they think they re protecting their
territory.

I've had lots of dogs bark at me and/or chase me....I bark back at them
...or yell at them to *** off.

sheeeeesh..... time to get a grip.

How many cycling routes feature cougars or bears?

The one I was on in Nevada. Where a Coyote ate my nieces cat.

Also some of the routes in Pennslyvania where my brother lives. The
first time I rode with him, he told me to watch out for bear, snakes,
deer and a variety of other creatures. Seeing a dog would have been
nice.

Then at my aunts ranch in Wyoming....there are animals I can't even
identify. She has a horse ranch. The horses have to be protected from
the animals that want to kill them.

How the hell do people live out west. I will visit, but give me Joisey
any day.

Come on. You guys have at least as many ways to die as we do . . .
it's just that ours come from four-legged animals while yours come
from those with two ;-)
