No problem, My reply was intended to be tongue in cheek and a bit sarcastic, but no offense was intended or taken on my part. No animals were harmed and the smoke detectors have not been re-tested.

I think I have ceased trying to really make any kind of a point here and simply find the ignorance, arrogance and self entitlement expressed by some members here here to be amusing and entertaining. It's certainly obvious that some here will not waiver on their belief that everyone, dogs, dog owners, motorists and pedestrians included, all are expected to clear the path for the mighty bicyclist. Thankfully, this does not include most.

The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.
