Douse your bicycle with grizzly urine

On my ride home this afternoon a little dog I have seen countless times decided to bluff-charge me.

He or she shot out the front door, saw me on my bike and took aim.

I wasn’t really worried. That proved to be the right reaction. I think the heat distracted the dog before it got close to me.

Anyway, I mentioned that (and the cordial exchange I had with the dog’s owner) to my wife when I got home. And she wondered what I could carry with me on the bike to help repel unleashed canines.

At some point, one of us came up with the idea of slathering the bike in the manner alluded to in this post’s headline.

WSU’s vet school could sell the stuff to the Spokane cycling community, my wife said.

But all I could think of was what a sensory delight riding a bike covered with bear urine might be on a day as hot as today.
