Wandering walkers and irresponsible dog walkers

[Cyclopathic]

Do you need me to point out that you ignored the question?

Firstly I didn't have any idea that the HC had anything to say on the matter of dog walking. Secondly on this particular stretch of multi purpose path ther is amp[le room each side of the path for the dog to run around and for it to be easily visible to anybody riding along so that both dog and rider can have enough time to reach an amicle agreement about which of them shoud cross the others path.
There are other sections of the path which are more constricted where I would put the dog on its lead. In these instances where it is not quite so life and death as other situations covered in the HC I think that there is room for a bit of common sense to be applied to the rules to save us the fate of living in an overly officious and regulated world.

t both dog and rider can have enough time to reach an amicle agreement about which of them shoud cross the others path.

Did you really think about that before typing?

Ok I give up I've searched for this byelaw, with little success. Can you give me a clue where to find it?

I merely read the Cycling network signs as I passed by, which state the network route number, speed limit, and other blurb like respecting users etc etc.

As far as Antrim county council's bye laws go I'm afraid I can't supply any more info.

Maybe its the network's rules for speed on that path...who knows.

Hope you haven't lost any sleep.

i think the post was quite extensive and therefore dont see one sentence as a cop out

Maybe not a cop out.
But little yellow brompton is not acting as a troll here so agree or disagree with him thats fair enough but to call him a troll is disingenuous or imho pretty pathetic.
Sorry doog but argue your point like man dont resort to cheap name calling from the outset.
This leaping to call people this and that without grounds is just pathetic. (sorry - hobbyhorse)

I haven't got the energy. He dislikes dogs and their owners and will appear on every thread that goes anywhere near the subject, filling it with his own 'funnies'- that are quite pathetic for someone who claims to hold a level of personal responsibility. I suggest we move on.

And I want to make this absolutely clear...................even if they do say Jehova

I note that you suggest "we" move on , after you get one last lick in!

I do wish the vast majority of the people taking their dog out for a crap had your point of view.

If you havnt got the inclination to argue the point with little yellow brompton then thats fine but it seems a pity as someone needs to put the other side of the arguement.
Personally the dog issue isnt one i can get worked up about (name calling : yes).
I suspect both sides have valid viewpoints and just need to sit down with acas and hammer out a comprimise.
Dog owners are in contravention of local bylaw 56a subsection viii and they do let their dogs shix all over the place but what do you do us cyclists arnt perfect either as notfabian points out.

I haven't seen any like that , apart from in Hailey Park where there are signs saying " Ride with care" and" Keep your dog on a lead" .

I have been pacing the floor,inbetween frantic tinterweb searchs and tweeting , I'm now jittery through too much coffee and SIS Go gels!

Errr there is a difference.


I produced the HC to show that dogs are meant to be on a lead, clear, and in B&W.

Notfabian thinks he remembers something on a sign somewhere.


Now, I'm quite happy to follow the HC, but it seems the people who want to take pooochikins out for a crap don't. And that's before we get to the shoot! :-(

It is quite conceivable that notfabians speed limit for cyclists exist so lets give him the benefit of the doubt.
It these dog owners are in contravention of the law isnt there something you can do about it such as contacting the police ?

The HC is not a law.

everything I posted was fact..do you not agree that you hate dogs and their owners?

Are you a scoutmaster? ....pretty dire indictment on your profession if you ask me
