    Police in Cornwall have called for anyone with information to come forward after a cyclist reportedly assaulted a female dog walker on a nature reserve’s shared path earlier this week.

    The alleged attack took place on Monday morning after one of the woman’s
    dogs moved across into the cyclist’s path on Goss Moor’s multi-use trail, a seven-mile, mostly off-road route located in central Cornwall’s 480-hectare national nature reserve and suitable for cyclists, walkers, horse riders,
    and wheelchair users.

    The woman was walking with her two dogs, a German Shepherd and Fox Red Labrador, at around 11.15am when the cyclist – who she said was riding a
    road bike and wearing a white helmet with white glasses – reportedly
    grabbed her by the hair and punched her in the arm and ribcage during the “hideous” assault.

    Dear me...

    Have you read the vividly-imagined below the line comments?

    Complete with the "he wasn't a cyclist, he was a person on a bike" line?

    The (ironic) laughter brought tears to my eyes!

    I thought the line taken in this one was good:

    “…Highway Code Rule 56: keep dog on short lead... when on shared path with cyclists

    It may be me but that is ignored completely by far too many dog walkers.”

    I wonder if he could post the Highway Code rule that says that cyclists
    must not cycle on pavements (aka footways). Cyclists are too fond of
    quoting the rules that apply to others while being dismissive in word and
    deed about those that apply to themselves.
