    Didnt seem clear if he fell after hitting the dog or hit the dog in the fall?

    Scunthorpe used to get blocked on emails.

    If that happened in edinburgh might have been more indignation?

    I actually found it interesting the paper made a point of mentioning the dog was off the lead
    same as the wearing/not wearing helmet?

    Yes, the tone was much less hectoring and more matter of fact than it would be in our local chip wrapper.

    If dog was on lead they might all have been together which might or might not have made a difference.

    Dogs very random, owners very varied in their attitude, some call to heel, some don't bother. I slow down regardless

    My reading is that cyclist was not on path, but joined path at point where he hit the dog. Does seem a bit dangerous. (and I'm not sympathetic to dogs off leashes on paths).
