Mine will run beside the bike without a lead.tried it with a lead first and it was a nightmare.

I will never ever again have him on a lead and me on a bike. 3 broken ribs, a lot of lost blood and my pride left in tatters..... that was my real-life nightmare

I'll stick with the rollerblades

Long horse leader and a coupling they run in front. Keep part of the leader bunched in my hand to release to take the shock out  they decide to take off. Needs practise lol. Have had me off about 3 times in 5 years and I probably do 40 rides a year. Run them free most of the time fortunately.

Cheers, D.

What would be the average distance would most people cycle daily with their dogs, especially ones just starting out using the bike for exceriseing.

I've got a ride out the doors, 5 and half mile on the flat, do it 3 times a week when I get chance/weather/holidaymakers. Less than an hour at steady 6/8 mph.

I only every walked mine.

But the bike sounds like a good way for a bit more intense excerise. 

Going to try it out this week to see how we get on.

Wont be to bad for me, as it's only one I would be taking out, the other is a young pup.

I wouldn't like my one run loose either, not worth the risk of bumping into someone.

I don't cycle daily but I do skate with mine, regular and we can easily cover 15-20Km on a day, going across the city. Usually a couple of times a week but it can vary wildly. 

Just got back from hiking/camping a few days in the mountains and lowballing I'd say 50-60km for us, so fuuck knows how many for the dogs backing and forthing and that's in brutal heat. Bikes, blades etc are brilliant for upping stamina in a dog imo

Bumping into someone not a problem bumping into something and fecking off after it be my problem
