You are lucky to have a dog who knows how to handle being near a bike... my dog loves to go out with me, but also loves to run in front of the wheel - makes for a challenging ride; at least I get experience with quick stops!

Have fun!
Thanks, Haudlady! I was nervous to find out how Radar would be around the bike - EVeryone seemed to have a horror story about how impossible it was to ride a bike with their dog - but he took to it just fine. I just walked him next to it at first and gave him treats when he was in the right spot, and he picked it up pretty quickly. He's used to having to stay in position to my right, anyway, so I think that helped, along with being used to watching for things he has to make adjustments for while working, so he mostly remembers to keep an eye out for the front wheel. ...mostly.

So far I've just been riding holding his leash, but I'm thinking about getting a WalkyDog. I'm undecided, and for the moment the price tag and the laundry list of items I want for my bike are keeping me from deciding.
