You're alive!

^_^ More alive than ever.

So awesome! I've heard of dog-mushing on scooters in the US, but not too many people use a bike!
He looks so happy to be able to run! <3

He loves it, you should see how crazy he gets before a run after I put his harness on.

I think bikejoring works better with one dog becuase I can keep pace with him more easily and he doesn't have to wear himself out pulling me all the time. So he can keep running at a faster pace. With a team I'm sure I wouldn't even have to pedal and the scooter would probably be more comfortable.

The biggest danger is tangling the lead in the front wheel (bike stops, you go flying, dog comes over and licks dirt off your face). Thats why I have the pole attached to the top tube that sticks out over the front wheel. Unfortunetly he broke the pole after two years of use, not too bad for 35 bucks I guess. I can see the advantage of the smaller front wheel on the scooters. The cargo bike that I currently use for bike joring has a 20in front wheel and Its much better. Along with its front rack it doesn't even need a pole.

I really want to get my dog into running along side my bike, but despite her being a pretty energetic dog, she never seems to want to run with me when I'm biking. I've seen these poles that go off the side of the handlebars called "walkie-dog" leashes for bikes and thought about getting one. But they're kind of expensive.
Do you have any tips for introducing a dog to running along a bike? I don't think she'd ever be able to pull ahead, her being only a 35lb pit mix, but I would like to help her run off some energy!
