Wow what a lot of reactionary stuff going on here. Even by the high bar set by others on the EDF. So let's start with the title. I thought wrong season for leaves on the pavement. A bit late for ice, but it can still happen. We all know about uneven pavements and tree roots. Oh my word, perhaps Zombie apocalypse or sink holes. Those damned Lime bikes? But no, a four year old. The streets are rightly or wrongly full of kids scooting and cycling to schools in the morning. Would or could a four year old cause a serious injury hitting an adult, perhaps but unlikely. I'd rather a child on two wheels on the pavement than a car driving them to school. As said we are judging this on the original post. We were not there. We can not speculate. How this is victim (were you really a victim?) blaming, I don't know. How my response, similar to the previous two, is revolting, heavens knows. There is a serious conversation to be had about middle class parents. My they can be annoying. And similarly for teenagers, adults, in particularly illegal ebikes including delivery riders, on the pavements, There are threads on the latter on here already. But a four year old? Really?? PS off to watch Newsnight and some more serious matters. -

Seems to be a lot of victim blaming going on here. Clearly a four year old child should not be riding a bike on a pavement out of sight of the adult who is supposed to be caring for him. Also clearly if the child ran into somebody from behind, he is not ready to be riding a bike in a place where people may be walking. Quite apart from the adult who in this case could have been badly hurt, so could the child. I wonder how those people on here asking how it was handled would have reacted if it had been them? All sweetness and light and apologies for having had the temerity to get in the way of the child? I'm pretty sure I would have been extremely shocked and annoyed. -

Yes, do report it even if you cannot get info about the owner. It’s likely that the dog has bitten other people (and dogs) already or will go on to do it again. I’ve been bitten by dogs in the past, owned by people I knew and they had bitten previously. One bit my face when I was putting her lead on. She had recently - about a week before - bitten the hand of a vicar who had been to discuss the wedding of the owners’ son. The son was a doctor and he advised me to go to the hospital to start a new series of tetanus jabs. I took his advice. Unusual behaviour by a dog can also indicate health problems.
