This repellent works - have used it 3 times on dogs and it stopped them all. It is a fairly mild pepper gel - more potent products are available in some states. This product can be clipped to your shorts or the bike with an accessory holder. If you buy a similar product make sure that it is a gel spray and not a cloud-forming dispersal spray because anybody riding behind you will ride through the cloud

For more determined dogs a gravity knife or equivalent clipped to your pocket could be your only option.

Keeping these items on your person rather than on your bike will be helpful if a dog knocks you down or off the bike.
