is there a cycle speed limit in Dulwich park?

Stick with clowns, foxes and estate agents- you can't go wrong!

Charming!

Blokes who need to be trained to satisfy your sexual appetite.

[a bloke]

'Hate' is probably the wrong word really for how you feel about them .......'pity' maybe?

[LadyDeliah]

Lol, no I'm usually quite patient.

[a bloke]

That's good to know. I guess they must have to tick a few boxes though before you recruit them as novices though don't they?

Not sure this should be discussed in a cycling thread...but what the hell eh.

[LadyDeliah]

I thought you were talking about novice cyclists!

[a bloke]

well I suppose I was talking about novice riders.

what im suggesting is that a speed limit is pointless and people need to use common sense, ie im cycling round and I come across a family learning to roller blade I slow down!! you cant regualte everything, I wish people would just grow up and get along.

A speed limit is a speed limit. It is there for a reason and applies to you. Cyclists that consider laws are there to be ignored give all cyclists a bad name.

> I wish people would just grow up and get along

I'm pretty sure it's not everyone else that needs to do the growing up, just you.

It's dog versus child so it would appear.. A one man's battle... Hilarious! If I thought it was worth something I would give my tuppence but best that one of us act like an adult. It's been grwat chatting to you Mule, keep up the banter as it makes for entertaining reading..>:D

I don't think dog owners and child owners are all that different in the park.

A dog owner may let his/her hound off the leash and able to approach passers by without realising the passer by may be afraid that this dog will attack or bite them. A child owner does the same except the fear is that the child will run into the passer by's legs/shins and be knocked flat and end up crying - both situations are uncomfortable for the passer by and both could be avoided by keeping the animals in question under control.

Both are noisy and smelly and impossible to love ouside of their immediate family - which does not stop their respective owners imagining that their dog/child (or dogchild) is universally loved and admired.

Dog mess is not the dog's fault any more than a soiled nappy discarded in the bushes is the child's and the annoyance caused by a continually barking dog can easily be matched by the screams of toddlers turning the park's cafe into another playground.

And I have seen both chase after/run blindly towards cyclists leaving the latter in peril - on these occasions breaking the speed limit should be permissable.

Hilarious......! More more more >:D

Good point, but with the exception of my kids and, obviously, Frankito's dog!

Although, on reflection, probably just Frankito's dog...
