  1. 1. You are wheeling along a pavement next to a moderately busy road. 2 mothers, both with twin prams, are blocking the entire path, and moving incredibly slowly in the direction you are heading. Do you:

    • Slow down, announce your presence, and ask nicely if you can come past ?
      15
    • Ring some sort of buzzer or bell with increasing frequency until they realise and move ?
      3
    • Wait for a flat kerb, and run out into the road around them ?
      9
    • Get off, and push your wheel behind them until they turn off the path ?
      1
    • Pass them at maximum speed on the grass verge, muttering something about 'taking up the whole bloody pavement'...
      0

  2. 2. Whilst wheeling in town, you round a corner to find yourself in an outdoor shopping mall, absolutely rammed with people, all moving erratically but slowly. You have permission to ride there, but the security guards are watching your decisions carefully. Do you:

    • Proceed at normal speed and trust people will get out of your way ? Screw the guards, you have permission to ride here.
      0
    • Proceed very slowly, carefully weaving through the crowd whilst still trying not to put a foot down ?
      7
    • Dismount, and trolley your wheel through the area, nodding sagely to the guards as they recognize your considerate decision ?
      16
    • Turn round and go a different way ?
      5

  3. 3. During a ride into town, you find yourself chased by a dog, and your wheel cannot outrun it. Should you:

    • Just keep going fast as you can, and hope it doesn't jump at your heels or get caught under your pedals ?
      8
    • Stop, do a 180, turn to face it, and hold your ground ?
      16
    • Deploy your taser ?
      4

  4. 4. You are on a cycleway which also contains adults, small children, dogs on leads, 1 old lady and a cyclist. Which do you have to watch the most ?

    • The children
      16
    • The dogs
      6
    • The cyclist
      1
    • The old lady
      1
    • The adults
      0
    • The ground
      4

  5. 5. You are wheeling along a seafront, with hostile turbulent gusts of wind coming off the sea to your left. What should you do to mitigate its effects ?

    • Accelerate to maximum speed, and use your hands as aerofoils ?
      1
    • Slow down and zig zag to constantly vary your angle to it ?
      17
    • Get off and go home ?
      6
    • Sit down on the wheel to reduce drag ?
      4

Difficult to answer as I love both children and dogs but you forgot another hypothetical. :)

Children move fast and erratically (more so than old ladies... And dogs are smarter. 

You're not wrong. And dogs look where they are going, children just... don't.

But take your eye off the ground & you're liable to find a raised paving slab, thus sending you flying in front of all of them - & they won't realise why you're suddenly on the floor!
