hardly defending they (sic) selfishness at every hands turn. Also we
do not know the details of the particular incident. In my experience,
as I have said already, dogs are often not "Under Control".
No-one's commented on my comments about the picture in the article.
Does that look like someone who is showing consideration for other
users of the path?

Because the answer is clearly "no" ,which is sadly typical of dog
walkers, but better than loose to charge under ones wheels.
(incidentally having ridden to work for many years along a shared path
children do NOT charge under ones wheels and are much easier to avoid )
Any yes the cyclist should have stopped; alas a halo does not come free
with every bike.

So Paul, are you saying that a dog walker on the path has a 'duty of
care' to watch for cyclists moving faster than him, and to 'make way'
(for want of a better phrase) if one comes along? I'm only asking for
clarification here - if thats *not* your point then I do apologise and
would love your correction
