(54,770 posts)For some reason, the big ones like to run into your front tire.
It wasn't a big problem riding on flat or moderate road because you just hammer it and maybe shoot them with your water bottle if they don't give up.
But when you are struggling up a mountain road, those dogs can put your heart rate into the 200 BPM range and challenge the old lungs. If it gets bad, they usually calm down if you get off the bike, but keep it between you and the dog until they are ready for a stomach rub.
I always liked the ones who would just lope along with you with their tongues hanging out in sort of a grin.
But, the post was funny.
