Life-Changing Product!
Life-Changing Product! I purchased a Bike Tow Leash in 2016 (CE) and began using it with my corgi, Murray. He took to it immediately, and it has been a beloved part of our daily ritual ever since. I use it to get him through the neighborhood to the local park, or through the parking lots at trailheads; basically, we use it anywhere we have to share the road with cars. It gives me peace of mind to know that I have complete control of his actions in the midst of unpredictable drivers. The Bike Tow Leash is thoughtfully designed. The rigid plastic piece prevents Murray from getting entangled in the cranks or the spokes when we're in motion, while the rubber piece and swivel clasp allow Murray to spin around freely and size up our surroundings when we're stopped. I unclip Murray at the park and on singletracks and we chase each other around for hours. Whenever we encounter another dog, I stop, reach back, unhook the Bike Tow Leash's clasp from my seat rail, and hold it out for him. Murray walks up next to the bike and allows me to clip him back to the Bike Tow Leash with no fear or apprehension. Murray is only 28lbs.; despite his relatively small size, he's quite capable of pulling me and the bike forward with no assistance on straightaways with little to no elevation change. I'd be very cautious using this product with larger dogs that are easily distracted by cats, bunnies, squirrels, etc. Similarly, make sure your dog goes to the bathroom before hooking him or her into the Bike Tow Leash; when a dog feels the urge to squat, it's pretty irresistible and the subsequent planting can be enough to send a rider over the handlebars if he or she isn't paying attention to the dog. Notwithstanding these minor hiccups, I'm a true fan of the Bike Tow Leash. Murray and I already had a great relationship, but adding the mountain bike into the mix drastically increased the slate of options I had for burning out all his corgi energy on a daily basis. The Bike Tow Leash is what made this possible.
