"Sheep: 1, Cyclist: 0"
The clip of the cyclist is doing the rounds on X. Whilst we arenrCOt sure it is new, we canrCOt recall seeing before, and itrCOs certainly getting plenty of
attention.
It shows an off-road cyclist charging into a flock of sheep, despite
several sheep dogs barking at her to stop.
Unsurprisingly, the clip attracted the usual wave of anti-cyclist
commentary. This can neatly summed up by The Scope De-FirCOs response: rCLWhy would you do that?rCY
Doran added rCLSheep:1, Cyclist 0 naturerCOs speed bump wins again.rCY
However, many of the commenters also point out how they would feel in the situation. Benny Goodman commented rCLYourCOre being very unfair on the cyclist
- how is she supposed to know the dogs are warning her and not attacking
her.
rCLSeveral giant dogs start facing you and barking like that, itrCOs natural instinct to get away from them.rCY
Danger Noodle Snekly added, rCLhonestly, I know nothing about sheep and sheepdogs, so if I were riding through and the dogs started barking at me like that, I likely would have continued on fast as hell and assumed the
dogs were dangerousrCY.
