alx Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 There was something in the papers about this recently. There's supposed to be a bell on the bike when you buy it, but you can just take it off. But I don't remember ever seeing a bell on a bike in a bike shop. It could probably be googled but i can't be bothered... here to help.. (ahem) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineens weegie army Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 So us dog walkers don't have 'silent killers' on our footpaths unannounced ! Fickers ! forget the bell - they shouldn't be on footpaths! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnus68 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 forget the bell - they shouldn't be on footpaths! Agreed. And people with their pesky dogs should stay off cycle paths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Scruff Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Agreed. And people with their pesky dogs should stay off cycle paths. Absolutely. I've been cycling the 32 miles to and from work for the last 3 months, and I've come to the conclusion that it's safer being on the (dangerous) road than it is on the cycle path. I've come off my bike twice during that time, both times to dog walkers not controlling their pets. Once it was a guy with two dogs on extendable leads; as I went by one dog shoots off leaving him holding the lead across the path at waist height and panicking. The next one, yesterday, was a guy with a dog on the verge of the cycle path not on a lead; as I went by the dog leaps out literally right in front of the bike. Both occasions, thankfully, the dog owners immediately owned up to their fault. I was concerned that their pets were OK; they were concerned that my obvious cuts and bruises weren't any worse than they looked. Very painful but no lasting damage. I do think it's a sad indictment that it's safer for cyclists to take their chances on the roads rather than the dangers of dedicated cycle routes. But that's what I do for the journey home...

Jack Osbourne snr Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) I couldn't resist the urge to post on this thread...so here I am! In keeping with previous cycling threads I should make it clear that I too, have a dog which gets walked. Fortunately, Jag in a Peugeot et al aren't allowed on cycle paths or walkies paths so the world is a safer place. end.

andyconnor Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 i've lost count of the times i've had to slam the brakes on to avoid dogs on the cycle path, or extendable leads stretched right across your path. bunch of selfish b's. if you want to share the path take some responsibility for your dogs. now i ring my bell in bags of time for them to know i'm coming, but if a dog runs in front of me i'm gonna hit the effin thing. rant over..........

Whats wrong with lycra? Try doing 60 miles in a pair of Bermudas! You won't do it again. Today, I pulled on the lycra at 6.45am, caught the 0720 to Gourock, 0820 ferry to Dunoon - did 60 miles round Cowal and then rode back from Gourock bringing the total to 90 miles. Had I not being wearing lycra, my legs would be much sorer than they are and my bits would either be in bits or have fallen off.

hamiltonjag Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Cyclists criticising each other. My work here is done. Mwooohahahaha Why would I want to strap a bike to the back bumper of such a nice motor? Might end up with one or two embedded in the front bumper once my aim improves though.

Ma Ba' Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 .........so what's the view on anglers on canal toe paths? and should prams be allowed on the toe paths? and should the canoeists be banned cos they get snagged in the fishing lines and chase the fish away, and what about barge boats, you cant get near the place for barge boats!
