Can I take my dog biking with me?

I used to bike my dogs. Takes a couple of tries for them to "get" that they have to run beside the bike, so be sure to do it where you're not in traffic, and expect to be pulled off-balance at least once.

I preferred to hold the leash (I was holding the handlebars anyway, no big deal to have a leash under one hand) so I could simply let go in a crisis (dog darts after a cat and pulls me into traffic, dog goes the "other" way around a lamppost, etc), though fortunately no such crisis ever happened. There are also different kinds of bicycle leashes or "springers" you can buy to attach to your bike--if you get one, be sure it has a safety-release. Costs more, but could save you from serious injury.

Do NOT let the dog run off-leash unless you are on a country road or something. Too easy for your dog to be out of control and/or frighten pedestrians or other cyclists. Besides, most places have leash laws and you'd be fined.

Well, my opinion is, dogs shouldn't be attached to a bike or anything they may not be able to keep up with, so if you MUST go cycling in the morning don't take your dog, unless you are willing to go slow and train the dog to run off leash along side your bike. Hope this helps.

P.S. German Shorthaired Pointers, are great breeds, energetic, and loving. They dont need as much exercise as a Vizsla or Aussie, so you wouldn't have to bring it cycling in the morning, but remember they are quite active at night, so the free run session maybe make an hour and a half.

Biking with your dog is a great way to get exercise for both human and canine. In almost all areas, a leash is required by law. You can experiment with holding the leash or you can look into purchasing dog/bicycle attachments let you take your dog on bike rides and maintain some control. However, a dog pulling you on a bike can be extremely dangerous. You should make sure your dog is well-trained before you start a biking adventure. Before you attempt to bike with him, you and your dog should already be masters of loose-leash walking.

As a puppy, you are definetly going to have to decrease the amount of exercise time you take him on, but yes, as he gets older, he will be able to bike with you. As for attaching the dog to the big, they probably make some sort or harness that attaches to the dog and the bike. I don't think you should train him to run offleash because if you are riding fast, and he just stops, your going to leave him in the dust. I hope this helped.

It would be awkward to keep up (slow or fast) with the dog's speed on a leash, and without a leash is not acceptable in lots of places, dogs can run away or get lost.
