If you're anything like me you have major guilt doing any kind of outdoor activity without your beloved dog. Hopping on my bike would be a lot more rewarding if I could bring Bear (my dog) along, but it's just too dangerous. Ah, those puppy dog eyes are a killer though, aren't they...

So with this in mind, some imaginative dog lovers have created the Walky Dog ($39.95), which is a bicycle dog leash that attaches to the bike's frame that lets you ride your bike. This way, you can give your dog the complete outdoor experience along with you. Dogs need exercise too, so now you can give both of you a good work out. Want one? Then buy it directly from WalkyDog.com.

    I would be afraid that the dog would streak off after a squirrell and pull me sideways to the ground.....

    You'd definitely have to do some serious training with your pooch to use this...I'm with ya cravinsugar.

    sounds like fun - until you come to a pole and you go on one side and your dog decides to go on the other...or like cravinsugar said, your dog decides which direction you are going to go!

    Just make sure your dog can keep up! Remember that small dogs with little legs have to work much harder than you do and make sure you give them lots of H2O!

    As great as this would be...I'm afraid it would be extremely dangerous...for me anyways lol. My huge dog would probably pull me into a bush with him!

    So, I just came across this post when I did a search for "bike" (I just got a new one) and I was disappointed to see the comments about a dog running off towards a squirrel or something. I don't know how this device works, exactly, but if you tie your dogs leash to your bike directly below your seat, it will be nearly impossibly for your dog to pull you over. I don't know why exactly, something to do with your center of gravity, but anyways, it's not dangerous.
