Dogs And Cycling

I always used to get annoyed by dogs chasing me and barking while riding my bicycle around town. The trouble is, you can't just kick at them because they bike your shoe!

So I got myself some pepper spray. I struggled to find a way to attach it to the bike though, but then I worked out a good trick.

If you take an old bike inner tube (the black rubber kind) and you cut it with some scissors, you get a strip of stretchy rubber. Then you take the rubber and wrap it round your bike's top tube a few times and tie it off. Now take your pepper spray can and use the clip that comes on it to clip the can in easy reach!

I only had to use it once so far and it works! Poor doggie was not happy with me.
