What do y’all do about dogs chasing you if you’re on a bike?

Recently, got a job that is close enough for me to ride mey bike to. Ice tried it a few times and i enjoy it excpet for the area right near my house.

It’s a crumby neighbhood and it seems everyone likes the idea of having a pitbull or other large dog and leaving their gates open. So I’ve been chased many times. Realizable at least twice each way.

I’ve called BARC several times, with no change. I’ve tried talking to one of the owners and i was threatened with violence so I’m not sure I want to do that. Especially since there are ao many houses with this situation.

Is there anything a person could do to protect oneself from these dogs? I’m considering a BB gun but i dont know.

Have you ever worked for the city of Houston?

I’ve applied for a few positions and was interviewed for one and was offered to move forward with the hiring process. It’s and entry level job and i imagine doesn’t pay that well, but I’d be excited to work in the public sector. My only concern would be that I might end up in a position where I can’t move up or get raises etc.

FYI the job is in the general services Dept if that makes any difference. Thanks, in advance for any input!
