can the dog get too close to the bike to get his feet in the spokes

Hard to imagine given design but reasonable question I wondered about too pre purchase. Good tool for exercising

The dog only has a few inches of slack left or right so I've never had a problem with my pup running into the bike. He tends to pull forward and away from the bike but since you can have two hands on the handle bar its easy to control. I have a 1year old high energy English Cream Golden. I use this at least 1-2 times a week - I'd recommend it.

I think it would be difficult. While the bar is flexible, it does create a small amount of "return" pressure to keep them heeled to the side of the bike. The length of the bar, including the extending bit, keep my dog away from the rear tires and more alongside my feet. I feel it would be more likely for him to swerve over and collide with my pedaling than with the tires, though I have never had that experience.In times when he would get spooked or needed to suddenly poop (it happens), he would just "stop". My bike would keep going, the bar would flex around to match and give me a few moments to realize and come to a stop without dragging him.Hope that helps. I think it would be difficult.

I don't think so. My 25 lb hound tried once to run ahead of the bike just her whole body went up against the spokes and she backed off fast and never tried it again...i had no problem staying upright.

I have not had a problem with that. However, I use this to exercise my dog, not me, so I always keep an eye out for him. He likes to jump at me when he is tired or needs to take a restroom break. I love the tow, and feel very safe.

The Woof Cycle will place the dog too far away from the chair to get down halls and through door ways. The Bike Tow Leash has a model and accessories for dog owners with special needs.

Vents can b closed n pet can go down inside bag if it wants. But being on a bike its just normal to get wind.

Probably not as the holes for the legs are pretty close together. That was the problem tor my dog.

The wheels turned pretty easily, but it took both me and my husband to get the zipper to zip up around the dog. If your dog has any desire to get out, he will. Ours did. :/

I did purchase it for my ten pound dog and I thought it should be deeper. On turns it made me nervous that he'd fall out. I still have it on my bike tho, for their water and leashes, etc that we might need on our ride. I have two dogs that I take with me. I have a trike so they both sit in the back basket together. I hope this helps you in making a decision.

Legor, I will ask the person who uses it more than I, but I haven't heard mention of my Australian Labradoodle doing such a thing.The bike rider says, "I don't know big a dog that is, but I don't think a dog would be able to jump on a bike wheel while attached to this. It is a well made device."

Yes it can very easily, It can hold at least 40 lbs but clamp or tie it down so it doesn't come off by accident as it is a removeable one and just sits on a bracket that hangs off the handlebars and is velcroed to the bike post. I don't see it coming off but to be safe secure it down like I did (mine doesn't budge now) anything can happen and if you want to put your dog in it you might want to make it more comfortable by putting a towel or something on the bottom of it which is not nessary to do but will be very nice of you to do.

If he can ride with out training wheels you might want to go up to a 20" bike.

The butterfly opening requires a bit of weight to activate the step peddle, so unless your dog has some weight and genius, I doubt he will be able to get in there.

No way around it, you just have to be careful. And I've only been pushing him around in our home, but i'm looking forward to taking him outside once our weather breaks. He loves it and tries to peddle by himself, but you always have control because of the handle. Good Luck!

might be tough -- unless you had two. it's really best for one dog... Two dogs may be too close to the bike to work right.

The clip on the device is pretty strong so I can't imagine the dog breaking free. Also, the tether keeps the dog away from the bike, so they wouldn't get hurt by the bike either. If you fall on the dog, well, that could happen running with them and the only advice I could give would be don't fall. :) Honestly, my shepherd bolted after a cat last night, she is about 60 lbs of brute strength, and the bike didn't shimmy. It's a very well thought out device. This is great as long as you aren't tree bashing on a single track trail. I love it and the dogs immediately used it without any trouble. We are using it every night on the paths here.

The leash is rigid except where it joins the bike and at the last 10" or so where it goes to Snoopy's collar. If you dog is less than 60 lbs, there should be no problem. If he is 90 lbs, or you want to use a splitter and run two hounds of that size, then it's a bit light duty for that. So to answer your question, a medium or smaller god should pretty much be kept away from the bike wheels.

I have a 75 lb lab and I don't think I would be comfortable with her in front of me. Your legs are moving to pedal the boat and the further back you are the harder to reach the steering handle. Might be better to have the dog next to you or behind you in the rear foot well.

The back doesn't have a screen because on the other side there is a pocket. The dog faces forward anyway because they naturally face towards the momentum of the bike.

i am using it with a 3 year old, 40 kilos male doberman, and it works fine even when the dog pulls, but you have to make sure the bar that goes attached to the bike and holds the leash it's well fastened to the bike skewer and bike bar.
