My epic ride was about 1/4 a mile.
About a month and a half ago I was bit while on my bike. I was riding down my street when three dogs (two Huskies and a Mastiff) ran out to "greet" me. They ran out in front of me and, being the dog lover that I am, I slowed down so I wouldn't hurt them. They didn't retreat so I continued on my way. The Mastiff jumped up and took a bite into my ribs before I could take off.
Nothing broke. I had a puncture wound, some scrapes, and a lot of bruising. I'm fine now and riding again. I find myself riding in groups and out of the residential areas.
When I got home I researched what I could have done differently. Turns out that every dog will respond differently depending on various situations. I think I was lucky I wasn't knocked over and bitten more, possibly by all three dogs.
