    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:

    rCLrCaHighway 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.rCY

    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.
