WalkyDog Bicycle Attachment

I’ve always wanted to take my big dog Anna bike riding with me in the summer, but the thought of trying to ride my bike while she’s straining to run as fast as she wants, and possibly trying to cross in front of me… well… it doesn’t sound like fun at all.

The WalkyDog is an attachment for your bike that you can attach your dog to. That way, you still have your hands free for riding but your dog is on leash and under control. Your dog can run along beside your bicycle, but isn’t free to run in front of you or take off chasing a cat.

Attaching with a simple clamp, the WalkyDog is easy to attach and remove as you need it. It actually has internal springs for shock absorption should your dog jerk away to help prevent you from losing your balance. You can remove the WalkyDog with a quick release for when you aren’t using it, or to easily start walking your dog after you park your bike.

Apparently you can even attach two WalkyDogs to your bike and take two dogs out at a time. Now that sounds a little bit like too much trouble to me, but using a WalkyDog for one dog sounds like it might make the whole issue of riding a bike with your dog a lot easier.

You can view movies of the WalkyDog in action, get more information and purchase this item at SitStay.com.  Ride your bike and take your dogs!
