Cowperson's story reminds me of something that happened to me this weekend. I was going for a rollerblade along the Bow River pathway, and coming the other direction is a group of people & thier dog. I know that some dogs can be fairly unpredictable, and most of the time they'll try and come see me as I'm going by, so I slowed down a bit, even though most of the time the owners keep their dog on a short leash keeping everyone safe. The dog owner in this case didn't, and the dog crossed my path so I went into the grass on the side & bailed, scraping my knee slightly. I was going to give them a piece of my mind, but the two guys were about twice my size, and appologized, so it wasn't worth it. At least that distracted them from the fact that I was checking out their girlfriends
