Andy Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Which I have to run Echo and soon Koda) http://www.walky.co....-dog-range.html or here for the Springer (similar principle but different mechanics) http://www.springer-uk.com/ Hope this helps.

abi Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 i always ride my bike with all 3 of my dogs with the lead over the handle bars only ever come of once and it was because they wanted to go in this big deep muddy puddle and yup dragged me straight in it... splash!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 good links andy added to rep I'd seriously advise having something more secure for your own safety and shura's hun I wouldn't run her once a day - you need to think about what the weather's like - don't run her if it's over 14 degrees c she will overheat way too quick. Also, start off with a few smaller runs and build her up gradually Make sure you get someone to take some vids :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca_&_me Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Hey there Shura! lol hugs hun go on amazon or ebay and look for something called the "WalkyDog Bike Leash" I have 2 of them and I swear by them. You may have to tighten them back up after biking sometimes but they are really good, and you cant beat the $20 price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shura100 Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I shall get the attachments once i get my bike lol i was trying it on a friends bike around the estate xx But she loved it we've hosed her down today as it was hot and we were outside alot with them xx thank you for the links. will see which one will be best when i get my bike lol xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca_&_me Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Cool, there are a few good bike leashes but they are basically the same thing so try not to spend $60 on a $20 or $30 item, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
