I bought this works a treat and frees up both hands still ended up doing about 90 when the dog wanted to cross in front of the bike to say hi to a little westie he don't like but a bit of braking soon bought him in line

Big spring in the bar to absorb the bulk of any sudden dive

 

That's the one I have...there's a lot of stretch in the bungy though,keep expecting it to go twang and whip him across the arse lol

It's great though not having to pedal for 7 miles lol

Haha, interesting topic for me, as I've been riding with whippets, lurchers, staghounds since the late 80's. Even used to skateboard with 2 of them at once, that was fun, lol. Definitely got scabbed up a few times.

 

I use a harness on the pullers (from sled huskies) ....but most get it after a while and stop pulling too hard. But, the dogs absolutely love it....I just touch my bike, and they light right up with joy. I think it's almost as good/fun as chasing quarry for them.

 

In town, always on a lead, and in the bush, off lead 100% of the time, they just love single track....if you want a small example of how much they love it, check out this video...I just shared it with Dan on here last week to give him an idea of what we've been up to for years....sadly this video shows a bro that recently passed away but the footage is absolutely incredible and you'll love the whippet. (RIP Kelly McGarry)

 

Great that . Yep, those whippets are too fragile to run over rough ground though! lol

amazing watching the dog move over those jumps and keeping up so close, dread to think of them getting tangled up tho, it was bad enough when mine decided to run right into the side of me in the park at 5mph...

I dident see the vid..bloddy fantastic that.

[Rob Boux 64]

Thought you guys might like that vid....as for riding, I think a good way to practice is to first learn how to ride a bike with one hand (and have that hand on the rear brake). Once you master that, then hold the lead with the other hand. Way safer than tying the dogs to the bike and you can bail off quick too. Also, keep the seat lower. Just my 2 cents from someone that's been doing this for almost 30yrs...plus if you start when they are pups, they won't have the power to pull you over and will learn how to handle themselves appropriately....all my dogs got it pretty quickly.

 

Whippets...lol, people underestimate them....maybe they have thin skin, but they'll do pretty much anything and are tougher than they look. Mine was a little nuts, but survived being run over by a car twice, tangled with a bighorn sheep ram, an elk with full rack, a black bear with cubs, and a pack of coyotes....had to sew him up a few times that was it...

[boyo 1,398]

I take all 4 of mine at same time but have them all on one side on two double leads. Had a few harey moments usually at beginning when one of em decide to stop for a shit!! Mixed journey of roads lanes & tracks so they get time on & off leads. Atb
