A previous posting gave the impression that only vicious dogs
were a problem.  A friend of mine was riding in a group when
several dogs began running alongside.  They were pedalling fast downhill
when one of the dogs cut in front of my friend.  She hit him,
and ended up unconscious for several hours and with a broken
collarbone.  She put a nine-inch crack in her Bell Biker helmet,
and had she not been wearing it, she'd be dead or a vegetable now.
The dog wasn't vicious; it was just stupid about bicycles.  My
friend had no chance to escape, because she was already headed
downhill when the dogs appeared, and they appeared practically beside
her.  She now carries a can of Halt with her all of the time.
