Not allowed to carry weapons in the UK. Bike locks are pretty good clubs though. But I have had more problems with dogs chasing me on my bike than from angry drivers. Sure I could stomp a poodle, but wtf do you do with a fighting dog?
I kick any dog that chases me. Not so hard they get injured, just so they stop because i don’t want to have to get rabies shots. I’ve only had it happen a few times though. Aggressive people are more common in my neck of the woods.
And how does that work against a fighting dog? Sure I can see it working on a small dog but not really had a problem with them. At least rabies isn't a problem here I suppose.
How does it work? Are you asking how to kick or are the dogs chasing you superdogs? Every dog i've kicked from my bike has immediately stopped their yapping and chasing. I'm not too worried about dogs anyways since if they get more aggressive i'll just fight them. Dogs tend to respect you if you are a better fighter than them. So shove your finger up their butthole or your hand down their throat. They will stop. If you're a small person fighting a dog the same size as you then you might be fucked though.
Ultrasonic whistle maybe?
