Cyclists to be trained not to break the law

Training? They need to be fined as well. Hit 'em where it hurts.

Cyclists in Cardiff are to be offered training in a bid to tackle
"irresponsible" riding after complaints of dangerous speeding. Cardiff
council is to lay on adult classes at leisure centres after the Olympics
inspired more cyclists.

The plans were revealed after a puppy had two leg bones broken by a speeding
cyclist on the Taff Trail footpath in Llandaff North.

The council said the classes will be open to all and will be run from
leisure centres across the city from the spring.

It wants to tackle problems such as cyclists riding too fast, on pavements
and going through red lights.

It comes after 10-month-old Buster the boxer dog was so badly injured after
he was hit by an early morning cyclist that a vet thought he had been hit by
a motorbike.

He had run into the path of a bike rider, who the dog's owner said was going
so fast that the impact broke two bones in half in one of the animal's front
legs.

Surely this is down to the dog owner not having the dog on a lead and in
proper control. I hope the cyclist is ok.

The cyclist was on a path used by pedestrians and cyclists. Perhaps the
accident would have been avoided had the dog been on a lead but it could
easily have been a child who was injured. Cyclists should keep their speed
down on shared-use paths. There have been stories of cyclists deliberately
clipping dogs and their owners on this path.

No, clearly states the cyclist was going too fast, I hope he came a cropper
and damaged himself and his bike.

One would hope that a cyclist's brain would be on a higher intellect than a
dog's, but sadly, it would appear this is not the case.

Dogs are a nightmare. Especially those on extendible leads which allows
them to dart around in any direction. You should always allow huge
amounts of space for them, whether it be in shared space or if they are
on the pavement and you are on the road. Also, passing slowly is a good
idea.

Some while ago, I used to regularly pass a house where there was one of
those little yappy type dogs. One day I passed the house and the dog
shot out of the gates and ran between my wheels. A few times later the
dog ran out yapping. After the owner saw this, they figured that tying
up the dog might help preserve the lifespan of their little pooch. So
after that, the dog was always tied up when I passed.

Out of control dog. How the **** is it the bike riders fault?

I suppose the dog owner would say that wouldn't he?

What do you reckon the main characteristics of the *Taff* *Trail*
*footpath* are going to turn out to be?

They aren't offering training for dog owners.
