Horse riders

[Venod]

Horse waste on the other hand is pretty much just chewed up grass

I take your point, still wouldn't like it between my toes though.

If that was me confronting the horsey person, I would tell her/him "if you was as hot as me then you'd be distracting too".

There's a legal obligation for cyclists to give way to horse riders (and pedestrians) on bridleways anyway.

I didn't know that, thanks .

I slow down, which is doubly effective because I never go fast anyway.

Not keen on stopping unless I have to - it increases the time exposed to the danger presented by the horse.

It isn't the health issue it is the massive dangerous pike of stuff a tangible hazard on corners etc

Driving/Riding too fast? Unable to stop in the space you can see is clear and safe?

I still think they should clean up after them selves are you advising going around every corner a 5 mph in case a horsepoo has been spread across the road. People get fined for dropping a cigarette butt but if you drop 15 kilos of partially digested grass in the street that is ok

I occasionally pass horses on the bike and always say in a gentle voice "hello behind you, ok to pass?" and keep speaking in a soft voice.
Usually get a positive response from the rider (even though I'm actually talking to the horse)
Only once got a glare, so just passed quietly speaking to the horse as I went.
When on horseback have been passed by cyclists as I would pass with no issues

How do you make a hospice?

Give it lots of water.

Seems to me too many horse riders have a poor attitude towards cyclists.

Not in my neck of the woods...but thats on the road where I meet them daily. On a shared path I would expect them to show others the same respect they usually get.

It's very good for the roses, you know.

Came across a rider on Saturday morning on my MTB, we exchanged pleasantries, and I thanked the group behind with their dogs for moving them to one side.

Most I've met are OK. But, like in all situations, there are nobbers everywhere !

Only if it is rotted and fresh from the horse's arse isn't rotted (whatever you may think of the smell).
