Taking a break from trying to surf the flaccid waters at Westport on Saturday, a team of Seattlest agents mingled around the parking lot where they met a man from Bellevue who was the victim of a random dog attack last week. The veteran surfer peeled back his bandage to show the teeth marks from the doberman yellow lab who chomped on his arm. Apparently our victim was minding his own business riding his bike on one of the trails over there when he rode up on a woman walking her dog. He tried to give them as wide a berth as possible, but the dog pounced and the dog owner couldn't control the retractable leash in time to stop the attack.
Our first yuppified thought after hearing this story was predictably litigious: This is Bellevue after all so you know she has to have money. But of course the answer was no: What kind of surfer would want to talk to a fucking lawyer?
Then our second less-yuppified thought was: Wait a minute! An attack dog trained to assault bicyclists? Holy Christ, that's just what we need! We know just the bicycle riding enthusiast hobo elitist "urban primitive" jackass we would sick this dog on. Where can we find one of these? We would love him and pet him and we would name him Jack Bauer. The dog, that is, not the bicycle snob.This could be a compelling sequel to the Sam Fuller classic White Dog, updated to reflect contemporary mores.

This is Bellevue after all so you know she has to have money.
This is a dumb as saying, "This is Seattle after all so you know she must be a knee-jerk, left-wing, suburb-hating vegetarian lesbian."
Check the demographics on Bellevue some time. You'll be very surprised at just how many non-affluent, non-white, non-fitting-your-silly-stereotype people there are.
(And yes, I do realize this was another lame Seattlest attempt at humor.)
What's with the cycling hate? I see it quite often on this site. Is it an attempt at tongue-in-cheek humor, or do you dislike cyclists so much that you're advocating sicking dogs on them? I get a lot of shit from drivers when I'm riding, and posts like yours don't help any.
anonymous guest 1: Your take on Seattle is actually 100% accurate and proven with statistics and statistical sciences.
anonymous guest 2: Its not "cyclists" in general, brainiac, if you bothered to read you would see its one very specific bicycle elitist jackass in particular who will feel the wrath of Jack Bauer.

Love you too Matt. I saw a guy a while back with a rifle strapped to his bike out in Bremerton and thought of you.
I'd like to air my own bit of bicycle beef. Cyclists who only ride in months that start in "J": I hate you with a passion. You wouldn't/don't drive like you ride, what are you thinking? Show me the petition that requires 10hrs of basic bicycle-driver training before buying a multiple-thousand dollar racing machine and I'll sign it.
