Welcome to TE, and congrats on commuting to work.
That's pretty scary! Some breeds scare me more than others, and although not all pit bulls are mean spirited, the only ones I've ever had encounters with are. I'm glad the man stopped to help you out.
They make dog mace, but I don't know how you feel about using it (you'd have to be pretty close to use it, and what if the wind is blowing towards you and you spray it??). I know a lot of people just squirt dogs with their water bottle and it seems to work, but pit bulls can be pretty aggressive.
I hope you get some good advice from others who may know a little more than me.
