Makes sense if the dog Walker was sauntering whilst allowing the dug to run about daft that the jogger would get there first.</p> <p>Also the person in the middle might be holding a lead? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21198#post-365080 Sun, 04 Dec 2022 00:03:37 +0000 urchaidh 365080@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good to see folks, sorry to hear about the crap driving @mcairney.</p> <p>Wrt to the dog incident, I thought the woman in the middle was the errant dog owner and the jogger was just helping out, but I could be wrong. I defer to Gembo's observational prowess.<br /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/vdBFGw8.png"><br /> There was what appeared to be some handlebar straightening going on as I passed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21198#post-365067 Sat, 03 Dec 2022 11:56:24 +0000 mcairney 365067@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks I’m fine and I’m actually proud of myself for managing to restrain my language. I’ve got no idea why the driver was drifting so close to the kerb though. My initial thought was he was turning left down Candlemakers Row (and just neglected the mirror and signal parts of MSM) but they drove straight up George IV after our “discussion” though they might have changed their route out of embarrassment!</p> <p>Sorry to hear about the jogger dogger combo on MMW. Hope the woman cyclist is OK. IMO dogs should be on leads on all shared paths and it should be an offence not to but it would be right down the list of police priorities I expect. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21198#post-365061 Sat, 03 Dec 2022 08:17:57 +0000 gembo 365061@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sorry to hear that @mcairney</p> <p>It was all happening</p> <p>As Urchaidh and I left a young woman cyclist was taken out on the MMW path by a very wild dog. The owner appeared to be a very suntanned jogger who was treading a fine line between helping and admitting culpability. The dug was running about daft back down towards the six way junction of oaths. </p> <p>Quite a clatter but hopefully no bones broken. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21198#post-365060 Sat, 03 Dec 2022 00:35:42 +0000 mcairney 365060@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good meet-up again though had a minor altercation with a driver right after on Forrest Rd when a driver just about squeezed me off the road. I suggested that next time it might be a good idea to use the mirror conveniently attached to the side of his vehicle! Was all low speed so not real risk of injury although I did have a moment when I did fear for the fate of my (Giant, Carbon) front wheel! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21198#post-365043 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 13:25:11 +0000 Morningsider 365043@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ach - totally forgot about this.
