Cyclist in accident drives off
‘There may be serious consequences if a cyclist hits a child’
http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wa...1466-21415408/ 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. |

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? |

The picture in the article shows the dog walker showing lots of consideration for other users, pram on one side of the track, dog on the other, most probably with a lead between them. pete |

Hit and run is, I believe, a totally unknown phenomenon amongst motorists. |

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. -- Paul Boyd http://www.paul-boyd.co.uk/ |

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 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? |

Despicable, cowardly behaviour, IMO. Maybe. maybe not. What if he's frightened of dogs (and/or irate dog owners)? That is meant as a serious point. |

He could have aplogised. It often goes a long way to assuage injury and hurt. But you make a valid point about potential fear of reprisals. |
