Do cyclists' dogs chase cyclists?

I've found that roaming dogs don't chase if they are not in a group. That's
not an answer to your interesting question, but i thought it might be
tangentially related. 🙂

I have never had a roaming dog give chase. Mostly I think they might be
strays and probably too hungry to go after a bike. Mostly what I get
chased by is the little toy breeds. I like the sheriff that lives two
streets over with his k-9 partner, I often see them out playing in the
front yard and the dog never even looks in my direction, must be part of
the training they receive.

I have to chain my bike up in the yard because it likes to chase dogs.

Yes!
I got bitten by one about 5 months ago but I don't think the guy was a
serious cyclist, just an old guy too lazy to walk to his mailbox.
Probably not a good sample, just what happened to me.

Yeah, I think so. The dog saw you and said, "Hey, that's Bill Baka. Gotta
take a chunk outta him!"

Yes. We've had dogs from 1956 and bicycles since 1961 and all of our dogs
hate bicycle wheels for some reason. Must be the sound of the spokes?

Luckily, they're so old all they can do is /gum/ those rusty rims.

More the fact that you simply dont control or train them properly.

The town I live in in Germany has thousands of cyclists and dogs and I
have never seen a dog chase a bike : ever.

Around here, mostly they don't...but the sample space is small, and I
don't think my results are significant.

Not sure, but it seems like they just hate them on sight.... I think we'd
have to be very cruel to them to get them to stop. . . . We've had 8
different dogs since 1956 and they all react the same way as if out of
instinct. We just keep the bikes in the garage and the dog in the yard.

No. Just keep them on a lead and shout at them if they make a move to a bike.

Dogs learn from each other : train them one at a time. There really is
no excuse not to.

Wot 'e said. Dogs in the UK are fond of barking defiance at passing
cyclists, but because they can't actually get at the cyclist - due to
being tied up or fenced in - nothing actually happens. The only time
I've been chased by an unrestrained hound was at around 3 am last Sunday
- I didn't even see the animal, just heard a basso profundo V8 growl
from behind. It sounded big and hungry, and the ensuing sprint would
have put Super Mario to shame...

Nah, we just cycle out into the alley and down the street. If the dogs are
in the back yard they stand and bark until they lose sight of us. My
sister's had the same back yard since 1992, and 4 different dogs. They
don't actually bite but they do bark at all bicycles. We just don't ever
take the bicycles into the back yard. That's why there is a fence. We
once took our bicyles into the back yard to wash them off. The one dog
barked at them even while they were sitting still, not sure why.

Dogs bark at cyclists because they are not trained otherwise. English
dogs would be as well behaved as German dogs if they were trained to the
same extent to be used to and tolerant of bikes, cyclists and bike
paths.

The bloody dogs over here even sit and wait for the green man ffs!!

hehe. Go cycling in Ireland : those [censored] are trained to hide in the
hedge and leap out at you at the last minute. Without a doubt, an angry
collie on a farm is a formidable adversary.
