Friend of yours? </em></p> <p>Ha! No. But I thought it might be a teeny bit of consolation that when I saw her coming towards me as I cycled along NMW, she actually stopped and grabbed the dog. I said thank you to encourage the good behaviour (I always do anyway). Plus I thought diving on her screaming "You hurt my bike forum pal!!" might be out of order, especially if it turned out not to be her after all. ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10319#post-112460 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:01:38 +0000 lionfish 112460@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I only went the long-way round because my mudguard's a bit wobbly at the moment and doesn't want too many potholes/bumps.</p> <p>At least you had us to commiserate with afterwards!</p> <p>Hope the grass-stains come off.</p> <p>See you about! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10319#post-112458 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:58:14 +0000 steveo 112458@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ouch SRD! Even if she thought it was nothing to do with her would it have been such an inconvenience to check you were ok...</p> <p>You should have got her details and billed her, dog owners are liable for the actions of their hounds, if said dog has damaged a motor you can be sure the insurance company would be after her.</p> <p><em>Was she dressed all in black with a black head-thing on and blonde hair and the dog was mostly white perchance?</em></p> <p>Min were you wearing a wig whilst jogging again! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10319#post-112456 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:56:49 +0000 SRD 112456@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yup. that's her.

I went down. Jogger looked at me, called to the dog and kept going. </p> <p>I jumped back on bike. Chased jogger who said 'I saw you on the ground but didn't realize it had anything to do with my dog' and then 'I'm a cyclist too.' And then got nasty with me when I protested that she might have stopped to see if I was okay, and that the fall had ruined my new trousers. </p> <p>Now feeling rather stiff and sore too. </p>
