I loved your story and it gave much needed laughter. Thank you! However, take care of yourself so that you may write, and we may enjoy, more stories. I liked Pano's suggestion of using a water bottle spray. I've never traveled with pepper spray. Garrison Keillor, on an episode of A Prair

Thanks, you guys. I forgot my pepper spray that day, not that I'd have had it together enough to aim anyway. I should have also thought of the bike as a shield defense, but I didn't. That would have worked but for the dog in the Wald. Scary, Panog! Missing part of its snout? Good heavens.

Honestly, this is one of the things I like about my ebike, especially on the hills I can't climb fast. Vallejo has a bad "it's cool to walk my scary dog off leash" problem, and I REALLY like being able to get the hell outta there. Leah's story is cute 'cause of the size of the chaser and how fun
