I need to correct myself above, I meant I WOULDNT tie him to the bike if I was riding in a neighborhood, I usually take him on a long, open road without much traffic.

Hey Rick, you could clamp it on any part of the bike that is a large enough diameter. I have it clamped at Andy's neck height. The way it is spring loaded I have never felt much as far as pulling, that and at a trot Andy naturally stays in the right position. On trails or laps around the track it's never caused me any steering problems. If you wanted to clamp it lower you could probably change the line itself to a longer one to reach up to your dog. The entire unit dis-assembles easily. (I think its basically pressure fittings and a threaded pipe)

...Wiping the spit off of the monitor...very funny, Alex!
Steve, That sounds good! I really like that attatchment better personally, and I am glad to hear you have had good experiences with it! I am sure you could also add some strips of rubber in between the part and the frame to fill in the space if need be. That is what I do with brake attatchments, etc...
Hey guys, I just found this and ordered it as well, Dog Jog. It was the least expensive one I could find and I like that is has the lowest center of gravity like the Biker Dog, Rick posted. What I don't like is that it does not have a spring on it. If it seems to be a problem, I can just modify a spring to it I think. But for $23 shipped, you really can't beat that.
I should have it next week or so and I'll let you know. If they are out of stock on Amazon, I found many available on eBay, but at a higher cost.

Hey Alex, from the pictures it looks like the dog can make contact with the tire. That may not matter with some dogs, but others that are nervous running with the bike or like a friends Rott that loves to bite the tires it looks like they can do what they want with that rear tire. I could be looking at it wrong though, let us know .

Is it just me or does something seem wrong with that Dogjog picture? It seems like the dog is photoshopped in or something...look at the size of the tire compared to the dog...

Thanks for the links. My concern is that if she takes off after something, it could be a pretty "fun" ride. Would you recommend using a leash with a prong as a backup to control her just in case? Just wondering what others have done.
David, as far as my dog, she is very controllable by me, so I have total confidence in using any type of bike attachment. Owners with dogs with a high level of prey drive or able to overpower them, may want to think about what will work best for them. In that case, maybe a prong would be more useful for control. When I begin to bike with my dog, I'm planning to start with a martingale collar and go from there.
