Hey, Cas
Sorry to rain on your parade but. . .
I think you were really lucky.
Riding with ANY kind of dog (let alone a husky) holding the lead in your hand is REALLY dangerous.
If the dog sees anything interesting they can pull out of your hand in an instant.
Also they will probably cause you to crash your bike, as the initial pull to get away will drag your handelbars around
causing your bike to flip. With you on it.
You will be tangled up with your bike with possible injuries and your Husky will be heading away after whatever got its attention.
I f you want to ride with your Husky beside you get either :-
A walkyDog or Springer attachment attached to a Harness.
or one of the bike pulling kits.
I'm not having a pop at you I just want you to be safe.
