I've just come under bridge, and there's a chicane, so I stop to let them go through. But instead they stop. Stand there blocking it and then turn around. Never acknowledging me. Then the proceed to run in the opposite direction, three abreast - two on opposite sides of the path and one in the middle and a little back, so I can't get past. </p> <p>Eventually I ask them politely if it might be possible for me to get past, and instead of going single file like any sane people (there is incoming joggers and bikes too) they fan out to both sides of the path and mutter at me as I go past. </p> <p>I mean really? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12295#post-143888 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 20:26:21 +0000 gembo 143888@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fenton in Richmond park?

Once in Italy I saw a tiny wee chihuahua standing its ground and stubbornly refusing to be pulled along by its elegant lady owner, despite her shouting commandingly at it "Samson! SAMSON!"</p> <p>Other Italian ladies seem to carry their chihuahuas in special doggy handbags. Molto chic. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12295#post-143801 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 11:09:15 +0000 fimm 143801@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>twq *like*. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12295#post-143800 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:46:20 +0000 twq 143800@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My favourite joke is to say "I'd ring my bell, but they might start salivating".

I don't have one of my own, so I like seeing them out - they make me smile. </p> <p>I've never had a problem with them when on the bike - I slow down and say hello. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12295#post-143772 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 23:18:10 +0000 Bananaman 143772@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Could be worse could be a traffic jam. Slow down and work through. Less polution, and safer. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12295#post-143770 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 22:58:08 +0000 gembo 143770@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@bananaman. Six women and six dogs. Got no expectations,, just pootling past them without causing any bother. I said I didn't think I would try to run Cosmo over. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12295#post-143766 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 22:49:32 +0000 Bananaman 143766@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I know exactly who you are referring to? But am struggling a bit. On a shared use path 6 versus 1, what is your expectation? Never seen them with a dog but wouldnt be surprised if woman who lunch have them, and can do sarcasm/humour </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12295#post-143765 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 22:49:09 +0000 Baldcyclist 143765@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I see that group most mornings. Once witnessed the funniest thing when one of the dogs ran towards a runner who then did the funniest fairy run that I have ever seen into the scrub at the side of the path trying to get away.</p> <p>Not to excuse unleashed dogs, but I don't know what he thought it was going to do, lick him to death? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12295#post-143757 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 21:39:48 +0000 gembo 143757@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Twice now about nine a.m. I have passed a group of approx six women jogging with their dogs on the NEPN near murrayfield. The dogs are mostly black labs and run quite straight. They are all off leash.</p> <p>Today one of the dogs was catching up and the back two women were shouting at it Cosmo, Cosmo! get in but Cosmo declined. They then said just run him over, he's not our dog. </p>
