Cycle path/walkers path separated. Bicycles painted on the floor for reinforcement of the idea. Barrelling along at a good pace despite the heavy headwind. Group of folks spanning across walking lane and free running dogs in the cycle lane!!
"Dogs in the cycle lane" shouts I
"The dog doesn't know it's a cycle lane" came the reply.
"Well yeah! but you do you numpty™ ©® why isn't your dog on a lead?" thrown over my shoulder as I sped away to enjoy the rest of my 20miler
Why is it that peds and their pets get the 'God given right' to not have to notice what's going on around them and I, a cyclist abiding by the rules of the cycle paths and roads, have to be responsible for anticipating what those peds/animals/kids/old folks are going to do?
