I am so tired of being scared. First the attempted break in at my house. (Called police.) Then the Creepy Guy on the bike trail. (inquired at LBS, informed police that drove by.) Then the drunk creepy neighbor that turned up in the middle of the night Sunday. (Called police.) Then, I'm riding Monday, and had the worst, absolute worst dog chasing incident ever! Big dog, almost got hit by two cars and he still wouldn't give up, I was sprinting as fast as I could and he chased me _so far_ I couldn't believe it! Around a corner and kept on chasing. I now have double the desire for pepper spray, but BF assures me that there is no way I will be able to actually get it out and spray the dog in time. (I'm not sure before what, he bites me? Gives up? I crash?) Do you guys think that's true?
