freshpatent.com provides an RSS feed of new patent
applications. I like to check it out for work, but also
because it's always gratifying to see people coming up with
innovative ideas for new taco shell holders, etc. One that
popped up in today's feed was "Dog leash for use on
bicycle." It sounds a lot like a Springer, only mounted on
the back wheel hanger instead of on the fork (which sounds
kind of stupid to me, but no more stupid than that clip-on
taco holder).

It'd be illegal here.

Although Calgary is one of the most dog-friendly cities in North
America, all tethered bicyling with a dog is not allowed.
Personally, I think this is short-sighted, another example of
legislation which tries to make stupidity illegal - there's no
differentiation made between a Springer leash holder leading a
well-trained dog and a loose leash held in the hand of a bicycle
rider steering with one hand.

Of course, there's no bylaw about bicycling with your off-leash
puppy in an off-leash park during the height of summer.

Sounds like half a K9 Cruiser and half a springer.
