I can now add to the earlier blog about dogs by announcing that Romania has one less - and that my car has suffered front end damage. Co-incidence? I think not.
I never got the dog repellent spray designed for cyclists - it seems good stuff is available on eBay in the US but not available here... I have not yet figured out the real answer to what the dogs clearly see as sport here. I have tried ignoring them, swearing at them (in English) or riding at them. None work.
I hasten to add that the unfortunate dog who is now probably in dog heaven just decided to cross the motorway at the entrance to a tunnel at the wrong time...
