You like to ride a bike and want to integrate your dog into the activity? With the right equipment is no problem. Cycling is healthy and good for the environment. In addition, movement makes both bikers and quad bikes a like fun. With the right Reflective equipment, the bike ride can be a great hobby for you and your dog.
Dishes instead of collars
This could be your dog or he can escape from it. Always choose a padded and well-fitting dog harness. Also check regularly to see if your dog has any scabies. If this is the case, it is either not corrects or has a wrong size. Just as people often wear different pairs of shoes, so that no pressure points and bubbles are formed, you should ideally have several dog harnesses, which you regularly change.
Knight
The so-called Springer is a practical way to run the dog on a bicycle that is not held in the hand. This is a steel tube that is attached to the frame of the bicycle and has a tension spring which is attached to a short line. This has the advantage of compensating the jerky pulling of the dog. Due to the fact that the line is short, there is no risk of this becoming in the spokes. If the line is caught by an obstacle, a safety ring is released, which releases the line and thus protects against accidents.
Waist belt
Some dog owners also find a waist belt with reflective material in combination with a flexible jog line quite handy. The advantage here is that the dog can be quickly hooked up and drained away, and no construction has to be attached to the frame.
Water
Riding the bike at a good pace, instead of moving at a pace, your dog can be very thirsty. Remember to always have enough water to drink your dog at regular intervals. A foldable water bowl saves space and is a very useful utensil.
Basket or trailer
If you want to go on a longer tour, it is advisable to give the dog the opportunity to ride on your bike. Even dogs know muscle soreness or strains and just in the summer, dogs like to run a bubble on hot asphalt. For small dogs there are baskets with or without cover, and large dogs can ride in a trailer, which is connected by a clutch with the bike.
Safety
Generally important, whether with or without a dog on the road, is the good visibility. A shining collar or a reflective harness increases the safety of the dog at dusk enormously. For helmets, helmet and a safety vest should be the rule. And if it happens to an accident, a helmet can avoid worse.
