No, not a new iphone game but more a real life annoyance. couple of times now on my commute i get blocked and growled, barked at by a big angry dog (retriever i think, golden colour but with long hair). Anyway, if I try and move past it goes for me and blocks me again. Goes on like this until the owner eventually comes and drags it away. I have complained to them that it's maybe not the safest but they really don't seem bothered. so... what can i do, if anything? Am i just supposed to film it and stick it on youtube as is the way of the internets vigilante these days?
film it.
ring the police and say your being attacked.
"Only playing", "doesn't usually do that", "doesn't like bikes/helmets/whatever"...
😉
Hit it with your seat post
actually i got the "doesn't like flashing lights" excuse.
surprisingly enough he had no excuses today. it's really crap, i don't like having to be wary of a dog that early in the morning 🙁
How is this happening regularly, is the dog wandering around the streets? Are you riding through the owner's back garden?
man walks his dog on the cycle path i use for part of my commute.
Ride at it, it'll soon learn.
Ah I see. May I suggest a cosh? Use it on the dog or owner, your call
riding at it didn't help, i think it may have enraged it more...
