Letter to the Editor: Off-leash dogs and cyclists don’t mix

leashed-dog
Off-leash dogs can be a hazard on the Valley Trail.

Whenever I see an unleashed dog on the Valley [Trail] I come to just about a stop because you do not know what they might do.

It’s the same when you spot a person with leash in hand and no dog in sight. 

The reason I take this action is because in the past few years a couple of bikers have suffered serious face injuries when a dog has suddenly appeared in front of them.
