What is it like to be chased by a dog while riding a bicycle?

I was scared, once I went out to deliver food at night, and it was also very dark, and suddenly there was a burst of dog barking behind me, although it sounded far away, but it still felt as if it was right behind you, and I couldn't help but speed up the throttle, and I flew away as if I was far away, for fear that it would suddenly pounce out from behind and bite you.

If you are chased by a dog, the consequences are unimaginable, you may fall off the bike, and you will be bitten by the dog, and you will have to go to the hospital if you are bitten, so at that time, all you think about is to run quickly.

I can't wait to change my bike to a rocket, quickly find a safe place to hide the bicycle first, and then lock myself up so that the dog can't come in, it's so terrible to be chased by the dog, I always feel like it can pounce on me and bite me all at once. It's terrible, I'm afraid that the more I'm afraid of pedaling, the slower I will be, and I have to spread my arms and ride quickly, and I can't wait to step on a Hot Wheels right away.

When I was young, I was more underbeaten, and every day when I went to and from school, I would provoke the stray dog next to my house.

Because it's ugly, I always want to bully it. Hit it with a small stone. I don't dare to mess with it when I walk, and when I learn to ride a bike, I bully it every day.

Once, it must have been forced to rush and chased me for a long time. Thanks to the bike, I didn't get bitten.

At first, I was very scared, but then I found out that the dog was chasing me and not biting me, so I encouraged the dog to chase me, and it was boring if it didn't chase me.

When riding on the road, if the dog will chase after it, it is likely that the dog thinks it is more fun, and then it will be like this.

Dogs aren't bikers who like to chase them.

Rather, dogs have a psychology (innate).

When there is an owner, the dog behaves very actively, strangers pass by or ride by, and the dog will go up to pick it up, which is the same as the primitive society.

People raise dogs for hunting reasons, dogs chase moving objects is thought to be natural, not to mention bicycles, people, small animals, and even laser pointer marks it will go to chase, but dogs chasing people are generally limited to the presence of the owner.

When the owner is away, the dog is generally and deflated.

It's the same. That's how the idiom of dog fighting human power comes from.

1. Stop and stand still.

Some riders are chased by dogs, and they speed up and pedal, hoping to leave the dog behind, but accidentally lose control on the gravel road and fall off the car, only for the dog to come and sniff him, and then walk away from the ...... by himself

When you see a dog coming after you, one of the ways to do this is to stop immediately and stay still. The reasons for this are:

First, since dogs like to chase moving things, if there is nothing left to chase, they will be disinterested. Second, if you stop suddenly, it will interrupt the rhythm of its chase, and it has no idea that you will brake suddenly, so it will be very surprising to do so. Thirdly, if you slow down but haven't gotten out yet, the dog will pounce on the front wheel, which will make you fall hard.

When the dog pounces, use the car to block between you and it to prevent it from being bitten. Then just stay still.

Why stand still? It's because you're always there when the dog explores you from all directions"moving"Keeping the bike between the dog and you will keep the dog's interest longer. So it's better to stand still, even if the dog is exploring you and your car in circles, it will soon find it boring.

2. Walk away.

If the dog is still relatively close to you, it is not advisable to ride it immediately, but you can walk away from it"Territorial extent"。While talking softly to it, he slowly pushed the cart away. At this point, you are neither a threat nor a chase, so the dog usually loses interest and returns to its own turf.

3. Under what circumstances is it appropriate to accelerate departure?

If you're on a slope, you can reach speeds of up to 30 km/h. Below this speed, it will be easier for the dog to catch up with you. So if you're on a flat road or uphill, don't follow this"Born runners"It's faster than anyone.

4. Dress"Big dogs"

Dogs can sense if you're scared, so don't show you're scared. You can face it, shout loudly, try to stand tall and strong, pretend"Big dogs"。Most dogs will back off when they see you in this position.

5. Use the car as a cover.

If you ride a route, you know that there are a lot of wild dogs in a certain area. Before coming to this place, if there happens to be a car going in this direction, you can follow the car. The noise of the car is generated"Masking effect"Dogs may not hear the wheels of your bicycle and not even notice that you are passing by their turf.

In fact, with the knowledge of dogs, in most cases there is no need to take any measures. Even if the dog catches up with you, it won't bite. Instead, he will wag his tail at people, stick out his tongue and a series of friendly gestures just to ask for a touch.

In my experience, dogs chasing cyclists generally have the following situations.

1. I think it's fun

How many people are like me, when they were chased by dogs as a child (I loved dogs as a child, but I was a little scared). One of the things parents often say is, if you stand there and don't move, the dog won't chase you. Because when you run away the dog, the dog will think you're playing with him.

So when you become a person riding on two wheels and pass by in front of it, it will also feel curious and funny, and want to try to see which of us is faster.

2. Defend the territory

In the vicinity of my apartment, there are always two or three dogs gathered together, whenever a strange dog and a shovel officer enter their territory. Even if they just pass by, they will bark and scream, and then follow the strange dog until they are out of its sight, as if they were the boss of the territory.

So if you're being chased by a dog on a bicycle, chances are you've passed through the dog's territory and territory. He wants to kick you out, and when he sees that you have ridden out, it is relieved.

3. I like you

Some people have their own halos, and dogs like them very much when they see them. So I'd love to have fun with you, so whether you're riding or walking. He wants to catch up with you and play with you as a way to show his friendliness.

Therefore, when encountering a dog chasing and running, the most important thing is to adjust your mentality. Most dogs are not aggressive if you don't recruit them.

Unless it's a fierce dog like a pitbull, but it's now forbidden in the city. There is another possibility that the dog has rabies, in this case you only have to ride hard, faster than it, to protect your legs from being bitten by it, if unfortunately chased by the dog, you have to quickly jump out of the car, with the body in front of yourself, in case of being bitten by the sick dog.
