[RBW] Re: Dogwalker
Not everything posted on the board is spot on rbw topics. This is hardly more tangential than the folks posting S24Os, which I very much enjoy. I admit it's a rather ridiculous use of a pretty pricey bicycle. The relative safety is probably somewhat dependent on the path and the dogs; we went about strolling pace, and they loved it. Y'all aspiring traffic cops best get on the horn, we'll likely do it again. Cheers! On Sep 6, 8:24 pm, cm chrispmur...@hotmail.com wrote: Dave Craig wrote: I was really tempted to post on this topic.

One of the photos provided in the OP shows the dogs resting on a narrow paved path. It's an obvious hazard for other bike riders on the path to safely pass that rig.

Re: [RBW] Re: Dogwalker
FWIW and IMHO, Anybody who expects to ride quickly on a multi-use path has it all wrong anyway. As long as the dogs can't break free, I don't think this is any more hazardous than most other things on such a path (tricycles, kids on bikes w/ training wheels, oblivious roller bladers, moms pushing strollers while talking on cell phones)...

[RBW] Re: Dogwalker
Really? Dogs and bikes are both completely awesome. I ride in the neighborhood with my dog on a leash. She's on the left side of the bike, with the leash on my right wrist, crossing behind the stem, and held by my left hand on the bars. Jerking or tugging has very little effect on the steering with this setup. I tell her left or right when we're turning, and over to hug the curb when a car is overtaking. It seems to work fine. Other times, I ride in the woods with the dog off-leash. The people I meet out riding most often are doing the same thing. It's the best. That said, I would never take my dog out, only attached to the bike but not attached to ME.

That said, I would never take my dog out, only attached to the bike but not attached to ME. Even that has its place. Where I live, a lot of people (including, sometimes, my wife) use bikes to exercise sled and skijor dogs in the summer. It's called bikejoring. The dog (sometimes two, usually one) is in harness, hooked to a tug line that most people attach to the bike's head tube. It's much easier to stay in control with the dog attached only to the bike. Still not the safest thing in the world, but sled dogs need exercise, and they do not fetch. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
