I'm sure it's bound to happen to me as well some day. Do you think a bike attachment would have prevented it though?
I'd assume a harness for safety- if your dog pulls, the pressure is evenly spread, along with the bonus of not desensitizing the neck to pressure. (counter productive to loose leash walking and heel training)
I dont know if it would have prevented it, but i think the bungee part of the attachment would have absorbed some of the shock and hopefully I would just be jarred and not fly over my handlebars. or maybe its just wishful thinking...
old age means realizing you will never own all the dogs you wanted to- unknown
Uh-Oh!!!!
and Michael... riding in flip-flops! Didn't your mother teach you that you could get your toes caught in the spokes? (Mine did. Not sure how exactly she knew that though.) lol
You make a good point. I'll mow the lawn in flip flops (been known to do it barefoot also), but I won't ride my bike... I think I may have to re-evaluate my safety measures.
To put it bluntly it's so you don't strangle your dog if you wreck. If the dog is wearing a harness and you crash it would just get pulled a little bit and probably be looking at you wondering why you look so upset afterward. Wearing a collar there's a good chance you could cause serious injury to the dog. Not only that but it makes it easier for the dog to slow you down when it's getting tired instead of just keeping up with you to avoid being choked.
use a harness because its much better for the dog. It will be a better experience for all. A collar is great for walks but for biking or any time that its ok for your dog to pull a harness is a better idea.
