Actually I felt a little arrogant when it came down to dogs while riding. I was sure a dog could never catch me. Yesterday I met my master, my superior. Then again I have to say that usually the dogs came from the side or from behind. This one came head on. He came at me like a bullet or even better like a cruise missile. I yell at him and he never stops. About a second later he crashes into my bike so hard that my rear wheel lifts up and takes my bike from underneath me. I do not know how he did it because I was still moving at about 17 mph when it happened. This dog knew his homework.
I fell on my rear end and believe me it hurts. It hurts so bad my wife was looking for a toilet seat with cushioning today. There are many nice models out there.
So what did I learn? Never underestimate a dog. A dog can always hit you. Even when moving.

Ouch. I hope you recover quickly. Here's a link to a story that may redeem dogs just a little:

Joe - I'm sorry for your pain....but love this blog post. Heal fast!
Thanks! Should be up and rolling by the end of the week.
I too wanted to say heal fast....but then I decide "heel" fast was more appropriate :)
