My advice is to not let dogs treat you like a toy or something to be chased. I truely feel I'm doing the dog and the owner a favor by macing any dog that chases me. The dog I crashed into was not a mean dog. He's a nice dog. He plays with their toddler. He rides in the back seat of their car. But he HAS NO BUSINESS CHASING BICYCLES!!!!! People are just too stupid to keep their dogs restrained.
