CALLS have been made for the widening of a pedestrian and cycle
path after a dog was hit by a bicycle.

Anne-Marie Wilkins, 37, from Llandaff North, is starting a
petition calling for the Taff Trail to be widened through Hailey
Park after her dog Bonny was run over by a cyclist, who then
immediately rode off.

My money is on the little turd dispenser either being on a 35ft
extendable lead or not being on one at all.
Which gives the cyclist the right to simply ride off and ignore the
incident then? Cycles should be required to carry reg plates to
avoid cowardly behaviour such as this. Be nice to see some posters
condemn the cyclist leaving the scene *irrespective of fault*, but
I guess I'm asking for too much there - after all, cyclists are
beyond fault, right?

Out of common courtesy the cyclist should have stopped, IMO. Please
don't extend the act of one person to "all cyclists are beyond fault,
right?".

Stopped to be bitten?
Stopped to be attacked by the "aggrieved" owner?

Loose turd dispenser,
Loose turd dispenser is scared but unhurt by cyclist
Loose turd dispenser learns lesson
Turd dispenser's owner doesn't learn lesson and starts a petition to
spend £100,000s rather than her buying a lead

What possible help would it have been for the cyclist to have stopped?


Do me a favour, Marc. Please cycle into *my* dog and ride off. Or
rather, attempt to.


I find it much funnier to use the airzound.

Hmmmm, deliberate and intentional attempt to frighten and harrass
legitimate path user? Fine, have a go. I'm reasonably confident my dog
will 'intimidate' you rather more than you intimidate it )

When that happened
The turd dispenser:-
Levitated 18 inches
Rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise , whilst still in the air.
Started running at exactly the same speed I was cycling, in the
direction I was cycling.
Leaving behind it's owner calling "Doggikins" in a forlorn manner.
Looked over it's shoulder every 20 seconds to see me still there.
2 miles later it dashed for the bushes.

With a bit of luck the owner might have learnt that when it was taking
its dog out for a walk ( Dog owner speak for " taking the dog to ****
somewhere that isn't my patch") It might be a good idea to put it on a
lead.
With even more luck the turd dispenser got lost forever, died and the
owner got put off buying another one.


What a delightful piece of vermin you are. C'mon, cycle round here. The
dog needs feeding anyway.
