Newbie here - ideas, please!

Thanks ladies - I have figured out an alternate route to work and will be taking that from now on.

I did find out yesterday that the dogs have been taken in to be destroyed - turns out they attacked a biker in a neighboring suburb when the owners lived there and did some pretty serious damage. Not sure why that county chose to ignore the situation.

I feel like these people will just get more dogs. I agree that its people that make pit bulls mean - not the breed. The neighbors think this family uses these dogs to fight and that even with these gone they will just get more. I really wish there were a way to ban them completely from owning animals at all. The whole situation makes me sick.

But in the meantime, I am cycling a different route and didn't even think about using my water bottle!! (I could not have gotten to it this time, though, with two of them after my ankles!!)


Thanks for the insights and encouragement!! I do love to ride my bike!!!

After an incident last fall, I invested in one of those little cans of pepper spray, but I carry it much more for use on cagers than canines...
