Springer VS WalkyDog Bike Attachment
I am looking into buying one of these to take Maui biking (Cali's getting a
basket). Anyone have either of these? Is one better than the other? Anyone have one and love it or hate it? Thanks for any input. |

Thanks for any input. Before you use one, check out your local bylaws. In my city it's illegal to leash your dog to a bicycle and Springers are counted as leashes. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

As an attempt to prevent the truly stupid from over-running (and running over, I suppose) their dogs. It's a useless law because it's next to impossible to make stupidity illegal. Meanwhile, responsible dog handlers lose out. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

Even if it's legal, I'm not sure I'd do that with a miniature or toy Poodle. Definitely a concern. I once saw a youth, on a very hot day, pretty well towing a young Beagle behind his bicycle. After our talk, I saw him walking his bicycle and his dog, but I've no doubt that situation changed when I was out of sight. Anyway, I don't know MauiJNP's full situation, so didn't address that part of it. For all I know, she's 6 years old and will be attaching the Springer to a tricycle. Or, maybe, she's a responsible person and will be bicycling with care. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

Because I can't imagine that a miniature or toy Poodle could keep up with an adult human on a bicycle, at least not for very long. Mustang Sally |

I will start off slow and not go very much at first. they should gradually be able to keep up. Plus, I plan to have them alternate so they get a break (one will be in the basket and one on the side running). I don't plan on biking miles on end or winning any races, just keep a steady pace. And I won't push them to go faster or more when they are tired. |

I thought maybe I had missed something dangerous about the design or something like that. It's a shame about stupid people... -Jenn |
