Bicycle riders are rude and entitled and always making their point.
At 76 years of age, I doubt Mr. Miller was aggressive, rude and entitled. He was probably going slowly and cautiously.
Feel sorry for the dog’s family.
An unleashed dog is what is called negligence per se. These thoughtless dog owners are rude and entitled.
Of course, yeah, there are some careless bicyclists, but there’s no excuse for an unleashed pit bull or lab when it should be controlled, if leashed this old boy would still be alive.
I was state road champion in my day. I was nationally ranked and raced all over the country. I rode 10,000 miles a year while I was racing rain or shine. Sometimes in the winter I would find myself 50 miles from home so cold that I could not feel my feet and had difficulty using my brake levers. I had very little money and sometimes I would be a long way from home, hungry and out of money. And of course we had no cell phones back then. I never used my last dime to call someone for help I soldiered on. I never felt entitled, and I was never rude to anyone on the road.
Anyone who makes blanket statements about the behavior of others is most likely wrong.
