I gave up cycling for being too stressful. Every dog thinks cyclists are some sort of toy, to chase and bite. And using pepper spray 3 times a day gets old very fast.
- shipman05 5mo agoSuch an interesting comment. I've commuted 1+ hours per day via bicycle for years and never once had a dog encounter. 3 per day is wild.
- Fricken 5mo agoThe first summer after COVID I was bitten by 3 different dogs in 3 separate incidents. I went 48 years without ever getting bitten by a dog until that one season.
- nickserv 5mo agoWow you live surrounded by idiots. The dog owners, not the dogs, of course.
- dhjfififfiirjf 5mo agoRight, except most dog owners are miles away, or dog has no owner. And any animal this eats its own poop is idiot.

- idontwantthis 5mo agoDo you live in rural India?
- UtopiaPunk 5mo agoYou should report that to animal control. In most cities, dogs are not allowed to be running loose off leash and "at large." If they are bothering people, it's clearly an infraction.
