I've had more problems with all of these examples on my road bike than I've ever had with a dog on an MUP or trail. Darn kids (without parents along) on the MUP never pay attention and the kids that have parents along it's a 50/50 chance on whether they are paying attention to their kids because they are too busy flapping their snoodle with their friend or significant other.
