No, they don't.
I come across dogs everyday on my bike and they usually don't chase me.
Most dogs are well trained and ignore cyclists and people on foot.
Some dogs are nasty and should be on a short lead and muzzled when in a public place.
But the owners think that because their dog doesn't attack them, it is fine to let them attack others.
Fortunately I have very strong legs and a kick never fails to hurt.
You mention going faster.
I cycle in woods on a mountain bike, how fast do you think one can go?
20mph at best, topping 23/24mph on flat gravel.
Besides, why should I be the one running away when having a dog out of control is an offence.
Unless you tell me that cycling in presence of dogs is an offence...
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?
