willbur 3 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 never had probs on the m25 hardshoulder TILL they started roadworks Thats your own thault! Should have stuck to the M11, thats just reckless going round the M25, You could cause a dog serious injurys if it collides with a PARKED CAR ! ! two snails next to the m25 one says if you look closly you will see it move !

willbur 3 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 The question still hasnt been answered..is it legal or not? dont see how it can be illegal as you can have a kid on a trailer type bike fixed to the back of your pike and they can pedle and move about so they could make you fall off but then they arnt at the side of you ! i would say its fine ! is there no gavvers on here who would know ?

jf1970 328 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 it's illegal to be running the dog along side the bike( whether it's on the lead or not) on a public highway. Quote Link to post
willbur 3 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 does that mean you cant jog with dog at side of you either ? Quote Link to post
hogdog 61 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) it's illegal to be running the dog along side the bike( whether it's on the lead or not) on a public highway. Is there a specific law regarding that or are you using the 'wreckless cycling'/'having an animal under control' laws? That makes a difference because it depends how it's done. If the animal is under control by being properly tethered and your cycling isn't wreckless as you've taken reasonable safety precautions then I find it hard to see how you could be successfully prosecuted for it.
