"YTA. Even good dogs occasionally startle or go to cyclists for pets. If your dog tangles with a bike, both dog and cyclists will get hurt. But you could be responsible for the medical bills, since your dog caused it. I can't tell you how many near misses I have had with 'good' dogs. The rules exist for a reason- so everyone can share the path safely. Why are you above the rules?" 🐶🚴♂️
