What Can I Do So Dogs Don't Run After Me on My Bicycle?

We probably always remember this experience as a kid. We are out on our bicycle riding from our house to a friend’s house or to the corner soda store to get a milk shake. It is a perfect day, school is over until tomorrow, and we don’t have a care in the world.
As we are blissfully riding our bike down the sidewalk, suddenly, we hear a “bark, bark, bark”. We glance back and see the huge neighbor dog running as fast as he can directly towards us. “Survival mode” kicks in and we start to peddle faster than we ever have in our entire (short until that point) life.
If we are lucky, we heard the bark and saw the dog soon enough so that there was enough room between us and him to stay ahead of him. It would also be “extra lucky” if we had a ten-speed Schwinn so that we could “click it into high gear” and rocket away.
Well, sometimes we were lucky, and sometimes we were not so lucky. In those unfortunate instances, we normally got nipped on the heal and maybe got the bottom of our pants ripped. At some point in time, the “attacking dog” finally gave up or we pulled up next to a fence, got on our bike’s seat, and hopped over to safety.
Now that we are older, we may still love to take a bike ride around the neighborhood after work. The problem is that there are still neighborhood dogs sitting on the front porch. They still may decide to get up and chase us.
We would rather not have to try and “speed away” and don’t want to have our pants ripped up. We also are no longer spry enough to stand on our bike seat to jump over a fence. Don’t worry. Robin and I have a great dog training article that will teach you how to have a great, crazy dog free bike ride.
