Domestic Airport flyover watch out for a mad dog.

Mad Dog Alert !! Cyclist paddling below the Domestic Airport flyover watch out for a mad dog. I love dogs even stray dogs and have never had problems with strays biting me. Today in the morning I was taking a U turn under the flyover when a dog suddenly chased me and took a hefty chunk out of my left calf. This is where private taxis wait to pick up passengers. Normally dogs bark and give a chase and leave it at that. Obviously this fellow is down with Rabies, so cyclist passing under the flyover (towards the airport side) please be careful. Also if you are unfortunate to get bitten please take a Rabies vaccine shot, the last thing the cycling community wants is a mad cyclist biting other cyclists. Happy riding. via https://www.facebook.com/groups/mumbaicyclists/permalink/965244980170451/
