Not Such a Good Bike Run Today

[Bad JuJu]

Yes, I know some of those people without dog leashes--one of my neighbors calls it the "verbal leash" --puh-lease! I prefer dogs on non-verbal leashes. I hasten to add that I am a certifiable dog lover, have always had my own dogs, and spoil them mercilessly, BUT I keep them physically controlled, esp. when cyclists are about.

Our local park/bike path has banned dogs altogether due to folks like that.

Had also 'a moment' tonight. I rode through a blind narrow 'S' bend. And some idiot rode his big wheel loader at full speed through that narrow passage with the sharp edge of the shovel sticking out at head level. I heard something *BIG* coming so I turned the bike of the road to get out of the way. Only then he saw me and he hit the brakers but by then he would have been to late if I had taken my normal line through the S-curve.

I often think that some people possess nothing between their ears Or they're so selfish, they don't think of other people.

Hi Python

Sorry to hear about your bad day, let's hope tomorrow is better, well, it could not be any worse.

I often wonder about these people who are supposed to be animal lovers, if they cared that much, they would at least attempt to call their dog back, I guess ignorance is bliss to many of them.

I apparently did an 'endo' yesterday, not intentionally, I think the rear wheel only came off the road by a few inches but enough to spook me.
