I am tired of getting chased by people's unleashed dogs. For some reason this warmer weather has led some dog owners to think that they don't need leashes any more. On the road it's not that big of a deal, but in the woods or when there are multiple dogs, I'm tired of getting nipped at. Any recommendations for dog repellent? Pepper spray? Are there little pepper sprays that fit in a jersey pocket? Does pepper spray work? If I controlled my bike and me like people control their dogs, I'd either be dead, in jail or living in a box with no bikes from getting sued so much.
Another plus about riding in Hartford vs. the suburbs: no unleashed dogs.

Hi, I used to use this stuff called "Halt" that I purchased from Performanc or Nashbar. It fit into my jersey (or jacket) back pocket. I don't know if it's still available, though. And beware, do not spray into the wind! Like your blog. Nice to see someone write about riding in CT, especially in the winter!

I'll keep an eye out.
not sure either, but people would flip out if you peppersprayed their dog. Even if said dog is on top of you chewing your face off. People are stupid.
Very informative and detailed blog full of information. I love this one. This is a wonderful blog.
anonymous: hopefully there's enough spray to defend me from the person after I escape the dog.
