Where I live, you just bend over like you're gonna pick up a rock, and they generally gtfo. I've had a few chase me on my bike. Depending on the size, I have a few options:
Ride like the wind Throw one of the rocks/beer bottles I keep in my backpack side pockets at it (happened a few times) Step off of the bike and stomp my foot (but usually for smaller dogs)
Animal control is NOT a thing here...I used to be afraid of the hundreds of stray dogs, but I've kinda learned to chill. Most are too lazy to do anything, kinda like the rest of the people here at times.
So sad story. I was attacked once by a German Shepard. I had to eventually sacrifice my left arm to the attack. Used my body and leverage to lift and smash him on the ground until he let go. He didn’t survive.

As a former pizza delivery person, hitting them with the pizzas worked very well.
