baldockbanks courser 598 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Stopped last night by the police. was jogging my lurcher on the road not a relly busy road and it was not dark, at 8 ish. there is a marked cycle lane on the road the lurcher was trotting between the bike and the kerb. angry officer stops me in a car. shouts take that dog of the road, I replied in the same tone what for ? well for a start He says, recklease cycling or not having a dog under controll. I said shes on a lead (under controll) and was running with a lose lead (ie not being dragged or forced). then a women p.c says if she (lurcher) got spoked she could pull me in the road into traffic, I replied its no diffrent to a horse and trap on a road?!

Where they with in the law to tell me to stop excersising the dog? i dont know how you stand but i think its more of a case of a male copper showing off in front of a female copper. they most probably would of nicked you if they could. should try mugging people in the future they wont hassle you if they think your slightly dangerous. WANKERS got feck all better to do. 4 Quote Link to post
hogdog 61 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I ride all the time on the road with my dog, never had any bother...They once stopped me for riding on the pavement though I use a home made springer device but it's not really safe on it's own. I'd advise that you have two leads, one from the springer and one from the front of the bike around the head tube area, it gives you much better control and keeps the dog close beside you at all times, it can't go around the bike into the path of traffic. I always use a harness too. ManMat harnesses are perfect as they have two rings, one at the front and one at the rear, one for each lead. Quote Link to post
