BikerDog was developed as a safe
alternative to walking my dog. BikerDog allows the rider to safely
attach a dog to their bike and safely ride while walking the dog.
Biker Dog was not developed as a method to run the dog into the ground
at great speeds.
BikerDog also acts as a leash. After completing the ride/walk the
lead can be used as a leash by simply unhooking the end from the rubber
energy absortion. The BikerDog harness has been specifically developed
to allow the bike and dog to be ridden/wlaked on either side of the
road, with or against traffic. The harness can also be used as a normal
dog haresss when using the BikerDog leash while off the BikerDog device.
- Is BikerDog safe?
Yes. BikerDog when used at normal walking speeds is completely
safe for the dog. We do not recommend that the rider walk the
dog at speeds outside those of a quick run while using BikerDog.
BikerDog allows the rider to keep both hands on the handle bars
at all times. BikerDog allows for a safe distance between the
bicycle and the dog, your dog is always protected from on-coming
traffic, other bike riders, and pedestrians.
- Is BikerDog easy to attach to my bike?
Yes, extremely easy. BikerDog attaches to most bikes with conventional
chainstays. BikerDog is held in place with 8 hex head screws.
BikerDog can easily be installed on either side of the bike to
accomodate any riding conditions or terrain.
- BikerDog's patented design
absorbs up to 90% of the forces caused by your dog pulling on
the bike. This means that it is very unlikely that your dog will
cause you to loose your balance.
- What ships with BikerDog?
BikerDog is sold with the BikerDog harness and without. We recommend
that the BikerDog harnesss be used with BikerDog. The BikerDog
harness allows BikerDog to be attached to either side of the harness
(dog) allowing the rider to move with or against traffic.
BikerDog is shipped with the following items:
1. Bike Attachment & Screws (8 Button Head, 4 Nylon Tippped
Set Screws)
2. Harness
3. Lead
4. Operating Instructions
Depending on the size of your dog the lead and harness sizes need
to be selected. Medium harness fits dogs to 50 Lbs. The Large
harness fits dogs 50 Lbs plus.
- Can BikerDog be used as a leash?
Yes. After riding with your BikerDog simply unhook the leash end
from BikerDog. Keep the leash end attached to your BikerDog harness.
The harness is comfortably designed. All tension is around the
dogs chest and shoulders, not around the neck. The harness can
be attached from the either side.
- Does BikerDog come in various colors?
Yes. BikerDog is available in blue, black and green. Harness color
options are black, blue and reflective blue.
- Can I keep BikerDog attached to my bike when
not walking my dog? Yes.
Simply release the pin holding the rubber shaft to BikerDog and
pull the shaft out.
- Will my dog like BikerDog?
As with most new training methods you may see some nervousness
by your dog. Use BikerDog consistently and safely and your dog
will love it. BikerDog training can also be started when leash
training begins.
- Will BikerDog work with various dog breeds
and sizes? Yes. BikerDog
is designed to work with any breed or size of dog. The length
of the BikerDog leash is directly related to the size of your
dog. The longer the BikerDog leash the smaller the dog. How much
distance you want the dog from the bike is also a factor when
choosing the appropriate BikerDog leash.
- Why do you want BikerDog?
- BikerDog is attached to the lowest possible component of
the bicycle (the rear triangle), thus reducing risk of wobble
produced by the dog.
- The BikerDog harness is designed to allow for all pulling
to be done on the side of the dog as opposed to the top in
a conventional harness. This means that the harness is less
likely to twist on the dog or to contribute to an unnatural
gait during use.
- BikerDog can simply be converted into a leash and harness
by removal of a single pin.
- BikerDog was designed to protrude from the bike side as
little as possible, which allows BikerDog to remain on the
bike when not in use and also to allow for tight trail riding.
- BikerDog can be manufactured in several colors, which allows
biker retailers or manufacturers to match or coordinate BikerDog
with bike colors.
- BikerDog packaging is simple and small. The packaging allows
for an on-line business to place an address label on the back
and place BikerDog in the mail.
- BikerDog has no metal components that can be distorted through
repeated use.
