As a cyclist who rides on some poorly lit roads and shared ped/cycle paths, I appreciate the responsible owners who put lights on their dogs when it's dark, particularly on these very long winter evenings. They're usually the owners who make sure their dogs are safely out of the way as I barrel past. The other owners seem to expect me to be responsible for the safety of their animals by having them unlit and off the lead.


On a lighter note...look what I have to put up with!
