Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

Yep animals and children as they say, unpredictable, it can be fine but also a disater depending on the dog.

Nice looking hounds there Jimmy. My mums got 5 lurchers and my sister has 1, fast as fuck but quickly tired, and also bored, they are genuinely shit at stick fetching, they run whilst its in the air but as soon as its landed the thrill of the chase ends and indifference quickly sets in.

And luckily for that rider that dog is a total scrawny rat, cycling through a park with a dog on a lead with the whiff of literally 100's of arseholes and other doggy scent marks to distract it would be trouble with any normal sized dog, my sister cracked her ribs doing a comedy dismount from her bike whilst doing the same with hers.

The comedy thing about lurchers is that people think they need loads of exercise: they don't. Stick them in a field, let them hoon about for half an hour and then enjoy a calm rest of the day as they curl up on the sofa like giants cats. Unlike little terriers which need almost constant exercise and stimulation.

Riding with dogs does require constant attention, espeicially keeping a weather eye for cats, but mine are well conditions and haven't come close to taking me down yet. Again, there is no better bike than fixed gear for walking, given your control and lessened need to keep your hands near the breakes.

Collies and other working dogs are beasts, would love to take dogs like that out on a mountain bike ride. Reckon my Saluki would be ok for an hour or two, not much longer.
