Cyclist riding a bike plus holding onto a dog's lead with a golden what looked like a small Labrador dog.
A male cyclist cycling fast on a footpath opposite the train tracks and outside Silverstream school, today Tuesday afternoon. I was upset to say the least as the dog has to get off the footpath at speed and whilst trying to locate the road of which it eventually did, the cyclist stayed at his speed he was going! I did believe it was illegal to either ride a bike with a dog on a lead, either on a footpath or on our roads. The dog had no control as he was at the control of the cyclist, to be honest he did not appear to care or be concerned about the dogs welfare. I actually got out of the vehicle following seeing what had happened, and as the cyclist choose to cross the road at the next intersection I did speak to him with my concerns.
?please what can be done about this incident as it is the second time I have observed the same cyclist with the same dog being attached to a short lead and travelling at speed, ?Is this illegal, please let me know how to respond and what to do, to help the animal, please.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
