Thanks for the replies and for the link. What I am going to do now is keep clear of the places where dogs are more likely to attack or be un restrained. I had an incident on Friday where a spanish hunting dog chased me from behind and all I heard was a soft swishing sound as it silently ran effortless along side me. It was kepping eye contact and feigning to go for my ankle but never made an attack. I think it knew the boundries of what it was permitted to do to a human.

Hi All, 

I'm Peter and I 've been living in spain some years now and I love to cycle for 2 or 3 hours to explore the countryside and keep fit. Just recently Ive experienced a few attacks whilst clipped into the bike and it's not a good experience as it could cause a cyclist to seriously injure him/her self. To be honest I've never been bitten yet and the attacks seem to be more when travelling through countryside villages. I would like to know what the law is if ever I was attacked or need to confront an owner. 

Thanks

Peter
