Well that's your prerogative but I'm not going to stop defending pedestrians from this kind of "othering". It's ironic that this happens on BF because motorists treat cyclists in the same manner: i did not see them; they came out of no where; were they wearing a helmet; did they have lights/hiviz/reflective bits etc.



This was probably the most amusing part of the OP. Should dogs also wear hi viz and safety lights? I'm not sure whether a dog helment would work but maybe some sort of dog body armor...
