Anybody ever get chased by stray dogs while riding.

Was testing my board yesterday, then I hear barking coming from behind me. 2 small story dogs were chasing me. Mashed the trigger well over 20mph, outran them, if it was a some of the bigger strays around here I think I would’ve been screwed. Looked like 2 small terriers, the bigger strays around here would’ve prolly caught me if they chased me. Anyways that gave me a lil scare, until I saw how small the dogs were. Definitely gotta pay attention to your surroundings. I can’t be the only one this has happened too, lol.

Happen to my son on his bike while i was on my board ahead by a bit. Tiny little dog was chasing him. I heard the screams of terror, looked back and laughed a little.I got off my board waited so my son would ride past while i waved the pup away. Never seen my kid pedal so fast

Its not a stray, but I come across the same dog nearly every day that loves to chase me and cut me off. The fuckin thing just gets in front of me and stops.

I have a plan…

Coming down the street I ran into a dead end and as I was turning around this medium size dog starts coming towards me at full speed. Bark bark bork!
The owner is yelling “Lily stop! Stop!”. My instinct is to flee but I have to go towards the dog to get past it or else I’d be trapped in the dead end. I pinned the throttle and had Lily close behind me but was able to get away.
That’s Lily’s street now. I don’t go down that road anymore. :sweat_smile:

Waaayyy too many times.
Some were small dogs, other times medium sized dogs and a few times large dogs.

Some I have on video (2:10)

The scariest time was when 3 large greek shepherd dogs chased me while I was strapped in my MTB going full speed and one dog was within 0.5m next to me for almost 200m.
These are big dogs that are bread to fight wolves etc and are very territorial. No video of that encounter but getting out of that particular situation unharmed was a prize in itself.

Man that sucks, its worse when people can’t control their dogs and let them out unleashed. There’s a few big dogs here that chill out in their front yards unleashed, but they are trained and never chased me before.

i wish i had my insta rolling last week… but i usually take a lap in this big city field where most people bring their dogs cuz it open but its open for anything… anyways I come over a small hill and 2 dogs come running at me with excitement in their face…i swing a little wide and they pull a hard U turn and come after me… they were so happy and I gassed it to make sure there was safe space but no worries of actual threat =)
