Where do you bike ride to meet so many dog walkers? I would have thought you are on the roads and they are on the pavement?
When is this going to stop?

In the woods/parks.
I don't go on roads unless I have to.
So you'd rather bother pedestrians lawfully going about their day? Righto.
You don't have to meet many. One is sometimes too many.
I have been chased, barked at, and had dogs try to bite me, while cycling over t'Chase.
None on leads.
I've even had some ***** fat b!tch try to hit me with a bag of dog shoite because, even though her mutt ran close to 100 yds to attack me - twice - it was somehow me being unreasonable when I aimed a kick at it..............
ANY dog owner that categorically states 'my dog would never ...' is taking complete and utter *******s because no one can categorically say anything about another animal. If you're reading this thinking 'oh well I CAN categorically say it matey!!!' then you're an idiot.
When is it going to stop? Never. With regard to the inbred and sub-culture who want such dogs as status symbols etc, they'll simply move on to another breed if they can't have their breed of choice.
As for other cases when an ordinary e.g. family dog goes rogue and chases a cyclist in the park, perhaps with the intent of biting the cyclist if caught, the only way you'll stop that is mandatory muzzling of all dogs when in public. And that ain't going to happen.

Never paint your dog red.
It looks weird; like dressing them up in cowboy outfits.
Don't do it.
Plenty of mountain cyclists where I walk my dog every day in one of our country parks. Horses too. Although my dog had never bothered a horse, I always slip a lead on her when one comes along.

Woman dies after being attacked by dogs
Woman dies after being attacked by two dogs in Essex and man is arrested.

Dogs seem to sense fear in people and in their owners, fear is other side of the coin from aggression. Our neighbour got a Romanian rescue dog ( that seemed to be a thing a while back) that was hyper sensitive /aggressive to anyone in sight. Always barked aggressively and non stop. But when I walked past it was fine, I put it down to the fact I got on with the lady and was always calm around the dog.

The only way to seriously curtail this is by:
Introducing a registration scheme where your name and address and dob is put on a database along with details of the dog.
There will be a mandatory requirement for public liability insurance, as ther will be for muzzling in all public places.
A chip will be placed in the dog, which can be updated every year on renewal of the registration and insurance.
Dog wardens employed by local councils will go round doing spot checks on animals. No registration or chip or outdated chips will mean the animal is confiscated.
That should help the situation.
if you want to own an animal, you should be prepared to take responsibility for it.
If you own a car, you should have insurance etc...and if you don't, you know what will happen. As it should be for dogs.

That might work but creating a lot of admin doesn't make a dog less dangerous
Where the hell did you read that I bother pedestrians?So you'd rather bother pedestrians lawfully going about their day? Righto.
The woods and parks don't belong to pedestrians.
Banning all dogs except working/care ones...
'Dog lovers' seem to believe that their right to 'own' a potential killer overrides that of the victims!
Essex plod said, "Officers added that there was no wider threat to the community and the scene is now safe for members of the public"
So what about all those other potential killer dogs out there?
It would be interesting to hear from dog owners as to the threat they perceive from their own dogs as opposed to terrorists in the UK

You can never stop this happening altogether.
Same as driving without insurance and injuring or killing someone.
But you can put in place what you can to lessen the incidence.
