Eunice, 
Thanks. I’m encouraged that Maggie is using a  ‘DoggyRide’ trailer which is 
what I’m pondering.

 I'm not sure, but I *think* the dog gets to run/walk on some of the uphills.

 The Bombadil is a stout bike, tho'... not that I don't think the Saluki could

Shoji,
Thanks, I’m mainly going to use it on my commute to work. I’m fortunate that it 
is ~6 miles and on quiet streets and a paved trail. I’m lucky that I can devote 
the Saluki to this and keep free my custom from this task.

 Hi Jim,
 I have used my AHH and Hunqapillar to tow a Burley trailer with kids. Kids 
 and toys probably weighed 60# or 70# (on the Hunqapillar). For AHH, I only 
 loaded it with one child-- probably 30#.
 
 There are limitations to trailers and carrying live weight. 
 
 The Burley trailer is a two-wheeled trailer. From what I can see, the 
 Doggyride is also two wheeled. Though stable for loading, it can be tipped 
 when going over uneven ground or taking a turn too quickly. If you're going 
 on trails, be mindful of rocks and logs. It looks like the wheels on the 
 Doggyride don't have bumpers-- narrow pathways (e.g., between trees on a 
 trail or bollards on a path) could be problematic if the wheel strikes it. 
 
 Kids and dogs moving in a trailer can influence the handling of the bike. It 
 depends on the weight and how much they're moving around. 
 
 good luck,
 Shoji

[RBW] Saluki - Dog Trailers?

2015-06-03 Thread Kainalu
I have a Surly trailer that could carry a mastiff or two. The pivot point is 
set well below the axle, so the trailer's effect handling is minimal. And the 
pivot support distributes any stresses to both sides of the rear axle, which 
rules. The only tradeoff is weight, it's heavy as sin, but a light bike can 
pull it without a problem so long as the rear wheel's sturdy.

I'll use my Saluki if I do this.

I have used trailers for the last twenty years in some form or another. My 
current rig is my Sam pulling a Burley Travoy. This trailer is light and 
even when loaded isn't a problem. I love trailers and if I had a dog I 
would do the same thing as you. Have fun.
