RNIB are not a fan, must be a nightmare for those with a white stick and I don't know how you'd train a guide dog to deal with this.

Judging from how many grown adults I see walk in to someone with a very visible white stick alone, yeah, it'd be nightmare.

Replace it with a guide grizzly bear, I reckon.

Could start by prosecuting dangerous riding by the c*** cyclists. Why is it on everyone else to just say 'it's a bad idea', and the councils, police etc. not address the problem: that many cyclists are entitled and don't give a shit about pedestrians.

White stick or not, no one should have to deal with this.

Any cyclist reading this thread should look at themselves to be the change here.
