Not running into people and their pets?

No there's something I have a problem with.


I was thinking more in the broader scale of things ...

One of the rules I follow when walking, running, bicycling or driving is
simply don't hit what's in front of you ... just don't do it. If you

C.Q.C.

In the middle of a group ride, last Sunday, two dogs (one I'm pretty
sure was golden retriever, the other about same size but darker) came
charging down into the road at out grupetto. I was toward the back and
the lighter dog was in the lead, going for the rider in front of me. A
quick swerve between the dogs and an equally quick crank of the pedals
disrupted their charge and we were away unscathed. Too bad one didn't
bite me, I could use a million bucks right about now.

A golden retriever would never bite you, he probably just wanted to get a
good lick in so you knew how much he loved you.
