Sadly after recent thread on here about an injured Kitten and also an injured pedestrian on the towpath by SPEEDING Cyclists, reported yesterday on Narrow Boat Users group on Facebook of a dog been injured. Also this time the Cyclist has received injuries and as per a later post the cyclist is now threatening to take legal action against the dog owner! As a user of the tow path, as a Cyclist, pedestrian, dog walker and boater, this effects and concerns me greatly. Why do SOME cyclist (and in my personal experience on the Basingstoke and K&A seemingly the majority) treat the towpath as THEIR right of way rather than expecting that there will be dogs, walkers, CHILDREN, elderly, etc also using the Towpath! What can be done by CRT so that they are safe places for all to use? ++ My Jack Russell was hit by a speeding cyclist this morning (before anyone jumps down my throat, my more 'wayward' dog was on a lead and the little JR, though off lead, was simply crossing the towpath from our boat to the safety of the grass opposite, she is a very well behaved dog). I looked before we stepped out so the cyclist must have been travelling at 30/40mph because he came out of nowhere and the damage he sustained from running over my dog was awful, like he'd had a s...erious car crash, what looks like a possible broken jaw and wrist, huge bruising and cuts to his face amongst other smaller injuries. My dog is in the vets under observation now and I have spoken to CRT about the incident who were less than helpful and say they do all they can. I simply don't know what to do anymore. I can't help but feel let down by CRT as they refuse to even put signs up warning of the dangers of speeding. My children were nearly hit recently and another boater's dog was hit last week. It's getting ridiculous. If I can't see a cyclist coming at that speed what chance do my kids have. We all need to respect each other a little more on the towpath. Anyway, just a bit upset for my dog and the cyclist ++
