Common courtesy, as I said. If it turns nasty, then you can outrun both the stupid dog and the equally stupid owner :-) I have little sympathy though for the owner. In my experience of getting on for 50 years of cycling, dogs on a shared path are a menace. "Under Control" seems to mean something completely different to many dog walkers than it does to me. |

He could have aplogised. It often goes a long way to assuage injury and hurt. Does he/she speak doggiewoggie? But you make a valid point about potential fear of reprisals. |

Hit and run is, I believe, a totally unknown phenomenon amongst motorists. Cyclists never do it either, do they? Oh, hang on, what does the OP say again? Yikes, you really are a blinkered ****, aint ya? |

That cyclist should be shot. Regardless of whose fault it was, and the article doesn't say, the cyclist should at the very least have stopped to make sure the dog was OK. Despicable, cowardly behaviour, IMO. Well said that man. My sincere apologies for doubting that some would come forward and condemn |

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. 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. |
