Update: I did indeed buy the "Walky Dog Exerciser", installed it, and have used it. It works well, certainly better than holding the leash stiff-armed in right hand while trying to control a fixed gear bike with only brake lever on right side of bar. Perry (20-25 lb purebred mutt) is quick on the uptake and quickly got used to keeping out of the pedal's and front tire's way.
I installed on the right side, of course, to keep dog between bike and curb, so I have to be careful not to trip over the hardware when dismounting; must practice left-side dismounts. The device is well made and the quick release works and appears secure. I could not use the dropout attachment bracket because it appeared to be a bad fit with track nuts and an axle near the end of the track end. But vendor handled the return and refund very well. Anyway, product recommended, at $60. https://www.amazon.com/Walky-Dog-Exerciser-strength- Paracord/dp/B003OYIAW4?tag=tdt01-20 On Sat, Jun 30, 2018 at 1:20 PM, Patrick Moore <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote: > Well, not quite "on" nor quite "Riv", but "beside" and "Hon Solo" which > was a Dahon fixed model with an official build nod to Rivendell. > > I seem to recall this being discussed before, but I can't find the thread. > Is there a safe and effective or usable (2 "must" qualities) device that > attaches to your bike, to which you can attach a leash so that the dog is > held a safe distance from the bike? > > The device can attach either to frame (tho' the HS doesn't have the > diamond design) or to a rear rack. > > I've seen such things advertised, but I'd like to get others' real world > experience with whatever such device they may have used. > > What have you used, and how did it work? > > The photo shows the HS before I attached the folder-specific rack. > > Riv content, from interview with Dahon's Product Dev Mgr: > > ... the selection of retro components (Brooks, > Sugino, Nitto Moustache, Suzue) are inspired by one of my mentors > Grant Petersen of Rivendell.
