I stated yesterday that come Hell or high water I was going to ride today. When I woke up it was storming here. At first I believed that the ride wouldn’t happen. But, as fate would have it, the skies cleared after lunch and I was able to get a little over 22 miles in. This coming week the weather looks good for riding each day. I know Friday evening is out due to a football game and Saturday morning is out due to having to take one of my daughters to a music class.
It really felt good to get out on the bicycle today. It was a bit windy and I had a headwind for most of my ride. I had several dogs that tried to attack me today and I have yet to understand why people allow their dogs to run loose in a community where there is a leash law. I’m just wondering if one of these dogs cause me to have a wreck and it causes me bodily injury who is going to be responsible for my medical bills? I would think it would be the dog owner but with today’s laws who knows?
“Life Goes On!”
I had words with my neighbor a few years back because she lets her toy dog run loose so it can annoy traffic and poop on my lawn. We have a leash law, but she feels it doesn’t apply to her because her dog is small. But then, the particular neighbor feels that no laws apply to her because she’s special.
We have people like that in our community. They feel that because they own a small dog they don’t have to keep them on a leash. If I ever have a wreck due to hitting one of these dogs someone is going to pay.
