Yeah, I'll probably just get a used trailer this spring so I can get him to the park. If he can get out and run around in the fenced area of the park that will accomplish the same thing as having run along side me, and it'll be more fun for him anyway.

(Being a mix he does have longer legs and a slightly shorter back than a regular dachshund though, so running alongside the bike isn't quite as whacky as it sounds. But I'm nowhere near good enough to even try it now. I still have to practice just keeping me upright. Besides, one squirrel sighting and he'd be dragging me off the bike. )
