Potentially dangerous cycling dog-walker.


Recommended Posts

I'm a bit concerned (for the dogs mostly) about a man who 'walks' dogs around the Camberwell Grove/Grove Hill Road area (well, that's where I've seen him). In his twenties I'd guess, dark shortish hair. He takes dogs out while he's cycling,seemingly thinking he has right of way over whatever else. Today up the middle of Grove Hill Road, short haired datschund and a mostly white terrier both running along with him. Caused a car - being driven quite normally, to brake hard as he pedalled up the wrong side of the road. Last week with four dogs all on leads whizzing down the pavement on Camberwell Grove missing pedestrians by not very much. Seen numerous time lately with multiple dogs leashed to bike on the road. I might be worrying too much but every time I see him he looks like an accident waiting to happen and someone's dog is going to end up hurt at the very least. So, if you are using a middle of the day dog-walker I'd urge you to check he is walking them in a safe, not stupid, way.

Last year he came down Ulverscroft Road doing this, taking up the whole road with a dog on each side of his bike.


I was driving towards him. I did shout at him :(


If he is doing this on a regular basis I think it should be reported to the police/community police.


Does anybody know who he is? Someone or a dog will get hurt eventually :(

I've been wondering about this every time I've been down recently! Did ask at the counter once but the server was new...I have visions of an armed pitbull on a BMX but don't think that can be right, anyone know the story?

I very stupidly once tried to cycle with my dog on a lead -- oh my god, I knew it was pretty dumb before I set off but my dog gave me those sad "don't leave me" eyes. We made it about one block before I turned back. Super unsafe for my dog, super unsafe for me, and unsafe for others too. Dumb dumb dumb. To attempt this with several dogs is beyond dumb (at least I'm not THAT). I will NEVER attempt this again.

The point is, he is cycling with several dogs at once attached to his cycle.


None of them, apparently, his own.

*Walker, the cycling dog, sounds like a very talented canine*



hahaha...rahrahrah. I tried quite hard to disambiguate that when I wrote it, but you got me. I'm pretty certain Walker isn't the datschund though, her feet couldn't reach the pedals.


Haven't seen him for a few days now.

    • That is clearly not true. I see car drivers breaking the law on hourly basis - jumping red lights, speeding, not obeying the general rules. Plus they  are operating considerably more dangerous machinery and should have a greater responsibility of care to other road uses. You can see who causes the most harm by the stats. 
    • Looking for a suit for an 11 year old. Quite specific, white with black thin stripes.  Trying to replicate Michael Jacksons smooth criminal costume.  A blue linen shirt and white tie.    Thank you !!!!!!!
    • A quick Google found this, amongst other things: "Social impact models are frameworks or approaches that guide how organizations or initiatives address social or environmental problems."
    • "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck" comes to mind Unfortunately, a large number of cyclists do exhibit selfish amd anti social behaviour which, regardless of how many good cyclists there are, is seen as the norm.  It's a bit like one car driver jumping a red light and all car drivers getting tarred by the same brush. Perception is the issue and if cyclists all obeyed the rules, everyone would be less anti them but unfortunately that isn't the case 🤔
