What we really needed was a security team to fight off the dogs. LOL!
Back then everyone almost had a dog and they were free to roam.
There was one stretch of road where I'd start peddling as fast as I could because I knew the dogs be coming after me on both sides of bike so I'd lift my legs up so they couldn't get me. LOL!
I can laugh now but back then that was one scary part of my route.
