If a dog runs towards you while riding, what should you do?

Accelerate to evade the dog
Ignore the dog and maintain speed
Swerve towards the dog to scare it away
Adjust speed to upset the dog's timing

The correct answer is: Adjust speed to upset the dog's timing

If a dog runs towards you while riding, you should adjust your speed. Accelerating towards the dog may cause it to become more aggressive and escalate the situation. Ignoring the dog is not recommended as it could cause harm to both you and the dog. Swerving towards the dog could also escalate the situation and potentially cause an accident. Adjusting speed allows you to maintain a safe distance and gives you time to assess the situation.
