If you know you might encounter dogs, carry a small packet or two of plain biscuits ( as in Commonwealth English or called cookie/cracker in the United States. )

If the dog does not let up in few seconds, continue cycling/walking and keep throwing a biscuit at a time in front of the dog. This will usually distract the dog till you are out of its territory. Usually 2 or 3 biscuits will do the trick.

• In my experience, most dogs don't go for flavored biscuits like jam/chocolate/cream/salt or surprisingly, even milk biscuits. Basic plain or sweet biscuits are best.

• Don't break up the biscuit into pieces, the bigger the piece, more
  time it will take for a dog to break and chew it!

Next time, even if the same dog chases you, it won't be to bite. It will probably be wagging its tail on seeing you.

btw, at the end of your cycling, if you have any biscuits left in an open packet, you get to have them for yourself ;-)
