Unforgivable behaviour by the cyclists.
I wonder how many motorists sounded their horn, tried to run the rider off the road, told her she was riding in the middle of the road and above all, doesn't pay 'Road Tax'.

Probably none.

Indeed - I hope someone gave them a bollocking. Even if they are city
folk unaccustomed to sharing the road with equestrians they should be
looking ahead, slowing down when necessary and not acting like it's a
race on a closed road.

Going up the inside like that is unforgiveable.

Probably none.


Depends on whether you are talking about that particular occasion or
anywhere at any time.

There are plenty more where that came from.

Thanks. That works.
Personally when coming up behind a horse I slow down and ring the bell
well in advance, and try to give the horse a wide berth. It is safer
also for me to pass outside kicking range. And the horse has plenty of
notice that I am there because of the bell, even if the rider did not
hear it.

I am not sure what the reaction to a bell would be. Voice might be more
recognisable to the horse? Anyway, I usually ask the horsist whether it
is ok to go past.
