moonlighter 1,164 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I do it probally every other night. I'd sooner bike them for an hour than walk for an hour. I only have to bike about 1/4 mile before I get to a place where I can let them off. Quote Link to post
NaTiiVe 29 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 i tried this with my pup she just wants to jump up all time and run infront of bike so i just take her for a walk instead plus i enjoy the stroll through the country and fields. Quote Link to post

freelance 448 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I use a bike and normally do about 4 to 6 mile, i also have the dog on a lead. Otherwise he will race up and down and can burn them selves out, so when on lead can regulate how fast they are trotting cantering ect. Thats just the way i do it Atb Quote Link to post
Guest vin Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 you can get a anti shock type lead holder that attaches to the bike and its then legal to pedal with the dog on the roads (so i was told). it has springs to stop the dog jerking you off the bike when it sees something and tries the mad dash for it. I go in the local park and also on a few canal paths and country trails with the bike and usually just let the dogs run along side me at a nice steady pace. I like it more than the dogs some days,especially at end of summer when your getting ready for the start of the coming season. It beats walking em fit. unless you have a lamp in your hand at the same time..lol Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 tried it once all went swimmingly untill a hare bolted across the road and the b*stards had me off it flat on my face, fook that walking for me from then on. I had exactly the same happen to me several year's ago which resulted in 2 dog's running a hare on tarmac with lead's on.. ..luckely they lost it in long wheat...but on there return a silly woman driver would not slow down so i had to jump infront of the car an scream at her...the good old day's .. I am realy looking forwar to brushing the dust of my old push iron an getting this pup out when she is old enough..the route i do is around 3mile on the lead then 2 mile of the lead which i find very therapeutic..
