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.

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.     
    • Anyone else received a cold call from this company pretending to be calling on behalf of EE? When I asked how they’d got my data they said ‘from East Dulwich forum’. I have contacted the Admin to find out whether EDF are selling our data to marketing companies or if they’ve been hacked. Alternatively the website is being scraped somehow.    Just warning others in case anyone else receives a call- it’s a scam, do not engage with them 🙂
