Well, I usually stay well away from the subject but it happened again today. Riding along the backroad which cuts our local park in half and a corgi-type dog runs off the pavement barking aggresively.
I swerved and avoided it but it started chasing after me, trying (I think) to bite my ankle - I just lifted my leg out of its reach... I could have hoofed it at any time but couldn't quite bring myself to do it.
Meanwhile, the owner, a largish bloke, mid-fifties was chatting to a young couple on the pavement. I suggested to him quite politely that the dog shouldn't be running around on the road, and that it should be on a lead if it's going to try to bite cyclists. He laughed, so I told him that next time, I would kick the dog in the face.
He walks towards me threateningly and asks me to repeat myself. I told him that next time I would kick HIM in the face.
At that point he walked off. But my feel-good ride was ruined - I had the rage. I have a dog and like almost all dogs but some owners shouldn't be afforded the priviledge of owning a dog.
Crap rant, just ticked off
