Yesterday one of our MAFW members was chased and knocked down by two loose dogs. The incident happened on Spring Valley Road, between Van Beuren and Blue Mill Rd. Fortunately our club member was not seriously injured, but her bicycle and helmet were destroyed. And the nearby cars (one behind her and one oncoming) reacted quickly and didn’t hit her as she fell in the middle of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dogs were described as brindle coat, either pit bull or boxer breeds. They came out from a property with a split rail fence and pine trees. Unfortunately the dogs did a “hit and run”, so it isn’t clear who they belong to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please be alert while cycling on Spring Valley Road. If you see loose dogs, take every action you can to avoid them. And, as we advise with cars that are acting irresponsibly, get pictures or video if you can do so safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
