Or maybe, and I’m just spitballing here…
They’re protecting all cyclists, dog owners and dogs from their leads being caught on a bicycle and tearing it’s fucking head off…

I can't say I blame them. When you have one of those little long haired rat bastard miniature dogs on twenty feet of cord, you are not controlling it.
A dog should be walked with it by your side, not anywhere within a twenty foot radius of you

Electric bikes and scooters are far more dangerous trouble is the cycling industry is worth millions and councils are getting huge grants and stuff to improve the infrastructure so there always going to look after them |

You used to be able to let your dog run free without a lead but now a lot of places insist on lead only walking.
These long leads allow them to run and get enough exercise whilst still being on a lead.
And btw, it's pretty easy to draw them back to you if needed, I do it all the time! |

"A Devon council is banning those long dog leads being used near cycle paths. Are this council pitting dog owners against cyclists ?"
It's near cycle paths and highways. Parks and beaches are fine.
You don't need a long line near a road or cycle path. Saying that, I've never seen a dog on a long line in those places so maybe it is a very small minority affected by this |

You're missing the point here. Cycle paths are usually used by everyone non vehicular. Pedestrians etc.
I'm sure there are people walking who get in your way too, I've walked down a shared pathway and been beeped at by a cyclists. Most are totally lovely and will wait until you move, however some are very impatient and will shout at you.
I mean, if you're racing, why use a shared pathway??  |

I hope that doesn't include Pugs. We have a pug and are extremely respectful and thoughtful to other pedestrians and anyone else passing. He is not on the long lead when people come close mainly because he dies down and refuses to move till they have passed by lol xxxxx it's a pug thing  Suzi |

How big was the fucking dog?! 
Or how small was the cyclist I guess. "

Cyclists can now by law ride in the centre of the lane and drivers have to by law respect this and give them a car widths berth when overtaking.
The laws of the road have changed xxxxx |

I do think those retractable leads can be difficult to see sometimes and can be trip hazards. But then most owners I know would keep the lead short in busy areas or places they're likely to come across a cyclist. |

Bit off topic but relevant
Pedestrians are taking more risks too.
I was turning left at a mini roundabout and two Pedestrians on the road I was turning onto stepped out as I turned then shook their heads at me. I couldn't see until I turned and they decided to cross at a dangerous point.
It'll cause so many accidents which is scary |

"Does the long lead compensate for poor training "
In a way, I'd agree with that comment. It's not just long leads which could get in the way of cyclists, but how many times do irresponsible owners allow their dog to roam at will on an extended lead and get in the way of other people.
I thought walking the dog is to have it on a lead beside you, effectively being the 'leader', not giving it free rein to wander! |

But that is the point, these paths are used by all not just dog walkers.
A black Swan was killed by a dog on a lead recently, a shorter lead gives you more control and helps you avoid accidents on a busy path. |

Most walkers can easily bring their dogs in to them. You see it all the time. Why tar all dog owners with the same brush just because some are irresponsible pricks?
That's like banning bikes from these paths too when they've taken some poor pedestrian out - yes it happens |

Not popular I’m sure but dogs are a lower priority than people.
Cycling (on a legal route -bridleway) is allowed and good for fitness of the community.
Dogs owners seem oblivious to all of this (in some circumstances).
If there are dangers on the walk with dogs (cyclists etc) then act accordingly. Short dog lead or choose an open space where there are less dangers.
Too many dog walkers just chat and are obvious.
I’m a dog owner and cyclist by the way.

Plenty of irresponsible cyclists too. The number of times I've seen them speed past, no hint of them passing and coming out of nowhere behind people is shocking.
Plenty of responsible dog owners/walkers and cyclists too.
Don't get me started on irresponsible parents, or old people or just people in general. See where I'm going with this?
Bottom line is people are cunts.
Dogs being lower priority than people is subjective. I'd most certainly save my dog over any random stranger (I don't care the hate I'd get, it's true), my dog has saved my life. They are family, and I'd family comes first. |

That's not specifically because of the highway code update recently. People are generally dicks. If you couldn't see them could they see you? |

"As if that should stop one doing it! It's not necessary to have coloured socks, it's not necessary for this cushion to be here, but is anyone going to write in and say 'I was shocked to see that cushion there, it really wasn't necessary'?

This is thread which probably doesn’t have a middle ground
I look out for cyclists when walk dogs and try my best with them
If I’m cycling on the same route I slow down were there are dogs.
However, if a bridleway then there are bigger and more hurtful (potentially) users such as horses and cyclists.
I’m thankful I’ve never hit a dog or person
Gun it as fast as I can until I see people and dogs
That my right
Always say thanks when people accommodate my cycling. Common courtesy. |

3 times I’ve come off my bike due to someone walking their dog in the gloaming. They don’t wear a light or any reflective clothing and are happy for their dog lead to stretch across a country path like a killer clothesline. Idiots. |

Can you explain that one. Let's say you're the Councillor for a small town, you've been offered a grant towards the cost of a cycle path. You can't use the money for anything else and it doesn't cover the whole cost yet it's existence makes you want to look after cyclists?

I don't understand the hostility towards cyclists. They are still humans, just on a bike?
Those loose floppy long dog leads are a menace to walkers aswell, when the slack gets taken up everyone and everything is getting garroted. Retractable ones are a little better but having been there when one wrapped round a toddlers neck and never having moved so fast in my life I dont like them either. |

the law states you must be in control of your dog at all times ...clearly these leads dont allow that ....
we have always had dogs mainly bull breeds from staffies to american bulldogs do to others letting there dogs run riot we now have a cam on the dogs collars we have harness's to be hable to control the dogs to on top of that dog muzzels (our dogs have never bitten) we do all this not to protect others but to protect our dogs .... another dog runs up and bites then our dog s will be blamed for defending themselves these leads are nearly as bad as a loose dog ive always disliked them they are lazy...
the dog cam people laught but its already defended our dogs with incidents because of other lazy dog owners who just dont care ...i say ban them everywhere and have full control of your dog no matter how small or big ... |

Not far |
Call me old fashioned but I thought dog training was all about getting a dog to walk ‘to heal’ on a short lead alongside the owner on public pathways. When coming to an open space the dog can be let off to run free and get some exercise. So what are these long extendible leads for other than for owners to take minimal interest in keeping their dog under control? |

Having trained and workd Springer Spaniels for more years than I like to remember you have to let the Dog no you are the Boss not the Dog. No need to beat the Dog or be cruel it's just a case of basic obedience which can be obtained in a very short time if carried out correctly . Those silly extenda leads where you see the Dog 10 yards in front wandering all over the place should be banned not only from the safety to other walkers point of view but those things let the Dog be the boss not the person taking the Dog out |

"Does the long lead compensate for poor training
My dog will stay if I command and wait until I pull her back to a short lead.
Hardly bad training "
I agree but some dog owners seem to use long leads (especially the retractable ones) as a substitute for recall training.
My dog’s recall is unreliable so he’s usually on a short lead unless we’re somewhere he can run free, or on a long lead but not where that could trip or tangle someone else. |

"Apparently a cyclist was nearly garroted by one of these leads.. hence the ban
How big was the fucking dog?!
Or how small was the cyclist I guess.
Damn, you beat me too it
Maybe the dog was up a tree
You'd notice the bark "
Surely "you could say he was barking up the wrong tree" is a better joke!? |

I dont usally blast people on the forums but cyclists get on my goat I live in rural East devon tiny country roads only big enough for one car most of the time and every weekend the roads are packed with cyclists! And they don't ride single file and they usher you past them on blind corners! |

"Dogs were around long before cyclists"
Long leads are a recent invention, my mum had a Beagle in the 1960s and long leads were not available then we had to make our own as hounds run off when they get a scent no matter how well they are trained. |

Retractable leads are, long leads are certainly not new and have been used for recall training for many years prior to retractable death traps. |

"If you’ve got a dog on a lead in Devon, ya ain’t local boi, we train our dogs to walk to heel. Bloody city folk, a dog is a tool, not a status symbol. "
Ridiculous.
Dogs are not all working animals.
My dog now Has to be on a lead, because she is so old that her hearing isnt sufficient. There is also a legal requirement to keep your dog under control in a public space.
If they cant be relied upon to obey, they Must be on a lead. |

Aye you city folk make me an old dougie laugh so youse do, walking behind your hounds, bending down to pick up their little “trinkets” and then hanging them from trees like some strange dystopian Christmas.
See Dougie’s me best friend but I very rarely have to pick up his doings, I’ve never asked his missus if she does…
Now I loves dogs an all, and I understand you city folk wanting them an all, but does not a bricklayer love his trowel? |

Assumption
1.
I am not "city folk".
I do not leave poo bags in trees. Thats just dumb.
2. Not having to pick up after your dog in the countryside is one of the reasons farmers have to deal with diseases in their cattle caused by dog faeces that can cause pregnant animals to abort. |

The roads are big enough for several cyclists, one car, a horse or 2, people walking and maybe the odd sheep or cow, I would imagine.

Having been taken out on my bike by one (I do have a bell and pass slowly) and tripping over on a run when owners have let their dog dart off, I’m behind the ban. |

Plenty of irresponsible cyclists too. The number of times I've seen them speed past, no hint of them passing and coming out of nowhere behind people is shocking. "
It’s impossible for a cyclist to come out of nowhere behind people.
Behind is somewhere, so that’s where they came from. |

I had a puppy in the 1990s and she walked to heel in a city centre, I rarely needed that lead, which was always in my hand. |
