3 Days, 2 Bikes, 6 Flats

Thanks everyone!
Gaterskins going on today, (with levers) and hopefully this will help.

Squirt a bit of water at pesky dogs. Sounds odd but it has worked for me every time. They seem shocked and back off.

I carry dog biscuits. I slow way down and hold them out to see and then gently toss in their direction. It helps and then they think your freindly on the next time through.

Just want to point out that I am the one who uses Gators and boasted about having no p*nctures....then had 2 in same week!
Just to clarify this - it was on my commuting bike and therefore NOT repeat NOT the Gators, They remain P*ncture resistant to this day.

I will keep yopu informed.

I worry about how dogs think. If my doofus got it into his head to chase a bike, and then got a biscuit out of the deal, a lightbulb would go off in his little mind:

"Hey, if I chase and bark and snap at these bikes, I get COOKIES!! Therefore i shall chase and bark and bite at EVERY SINGLE ONE I SEE! Cool beans!"

My dog is a very linear thinker. He would never make the deduction that: "bikes a nice and friendly, they give me cookies, therefore I shouldn't chase them."
