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.


God, no wonder other people hate cyclists if that is a common attitude!

Brian.


Why should people hate cyclists because of out of control turd dispensers?
Would less people hate cyclists if there were more leads used, properly?

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?



Excellent - when I first saw the OP - I knew that there would be one
of the resident ****wits along soon with that sort of question.

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.


"Shared path" seems to be a pretty stupid concept. Like riding on
pavements.



You are right - not just a stupid concept - I believe that in general
riding on pavements is illegal.

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.

Thank you for showing that the callous lawbreakers are not the
*complete* population of this group.


Is it against the law to collide with a dog on a shared path and ride
off?


Dont know, sorry. I *do* know its an offence for a *car* to collide with
a dog and not report it.

A curious segment from that article;
"In May, Friends of Hailey Park and sustainable transport charity
Sustrans supported a bike safety event at the park, encouraging
cyclists to respect other path-users"

I note it's not, Cyclists of Hailey Park and sustainable transport
charity Sustrans supported a bike safety event at the park,
encouraging dog owners and childminders to respect path-users.

It takes a lot of abuse to get people up of their collective ass and
engage in such a protest. Those cyclists must be a right bunch of
arseholes and little wonder given how in here they selfishness is
defended tooth and nail at every hands turn.

Really, well why didn't you say so before? People could be killed.

Anyone have a means of contacting Ms Wilkins? I'd like to send her a
walking stick and some advice about shoving it in the wheel spokes of
dangerous, aggressive, and malicious cyclists like yourself and the
person she recently met. I'm told it meets with the most *spectacular*
results!

No, an attempt to stop the little turd rat running between my wheel and
bottom bracket, hurting both of us.

You really don't understand your place in things do you?


You are here to have the **** extracted out of you and to see whether
it's possible to see spittle via text, it's your only function(s).
