Surely you have no choice but to slow down/stop if you are coming up behind peds/dog walkers? How should folks know you are there unless you expect them to have 360 deg vision and/or able to hear a pin drop from 100 metres.
Such was the experience I had walking my dog (on a lead) Sat night. 2 youngsters on MTBs came screeching to a halt behind us, on a narrow canal path, and were obviously very pissed off that I hadn't a) heard them coming sooner, got the dog out of their path to avoid them having to stop and *shudder* go single file and c) fainted in desire for their Apollo full-sussers.
I agree with OTR, you obviously don't like dogs and as such, can't be arsed to see the other side of the coin. There's inconsiderate tossers in all walks of life, those with dogs AND those with bikes.
