Reference Books and a brake question

[abejita]

I got the brakes adjusted right...took a spin around the block and all seems well.

I am fine with the bike in the living room, but I am not sure about the dog, LOL! He is scared to death of bikes, so we have been sitting by it and sniffing (the dog, not me) I have also been riding around in the back yard with the bike. Hopefully he will get a little used to it. He likes to bark and lunge at cyclists and we have been working on that. I would love to have him run with me as I bike, but I am afraid it will be a recipe for an ER visit.

I got a dog walker for my mountain bike that attaches to the seat post. it has a spring in it and a short leash on the end you connect your dogs collar or harness to it. It holds your dog out to the side(either) about 2 feet out and if they pull the spring pulls them back and absorbs the pull some. I got one and walked my dog first with it, then slowly rode. check it out.
