I got bitten on the ankle twice last winter on my fat bike. Both times I slowed right down and talked calmly to the dog, until it started nipping at me and I took off, only to have the thing chase after me and keep biting at my ankle.
I've hit zero dogs or people with my bike or car.
I don't understand the shrugging off of ####ty dogs and dog owners. I get extra pissed off by ####ty cyclists, because they are the reason the rest of us get negatively stereotyped constantly. I wish jerk cyclists would get ticketed like crazy.
