Hello

[Cycling Panda]

Hello Everyone!

Not a horse rider, cycling only, but conscious we share the same space from time to time and keen to make the experience better for all concerned.

Welcome to the forum! Nice to see a cyclist taking an interest in keeping mutual spaces safer for everyone

Welcome - you may be able to advise us at times..

Thank you for joining. I no longer hack round our lovely country lanes. In the last couple of years we have been invaded by large and small groups of cyclists, mainly men, racing in phalanx formation and coming both sides of my horse with no warning shouts or other indications that they're there. One man came so close that he knocked my foot out of my offside stirrup with his shoulder. My horse jumped sideways and nearly flattened the man who was tearing up the inside of us. Mutual insults were traded and they disappeared.
So - a major part of the enjoyment that my horse and I had, has now been extinguished. I ride round our fields and the little wood, but it's not the same.

Yes and me. I wish they would shout or ring a bell just to let us know they were there.
