[RBW] Re: Dogs on Rivs -- leash "wand"?
Apparently you're not meant to use the device to walk your small child. Over 18, that's fine. * Its not recommended the use of the walky dog for children under the age of 18 years old or children weighing less than 45 kg/100 lbs. The use of walky dog by children must be done under strict supervision of adults. * On Fri, Jul 13, 2018 at 7:33 AM, Patrick Moore wrote: > Update: I did indeed buy the "Walky Dog Exerciser", installed it, and have > used it.

[RBW] Re: Dogs on Rivs -- leash "wand"?
Update: I did indeed buy the "Walky Dog Exerciser", installed it, and have used it. It works well, certainly better than holding the leash stiff-armed in right hand while trying to control a fixed gear bike with only brake lever on right side of bar. Perry (20-25 lb purebred mutt) is quick on the uptake and quickly got used to keeping out of the pedal's and front tire's way. I installed on the right side, of course, to keep dog between bike and curb, so I have to be careful not to trip over the hardware when dismounting; must practice left-side dismounts. The device is well made and the quick release works and appears secure. I could not use the dropout attachment bracket because it appeared to be a bad fit with track nuts and an axle near the end of the track end. But vendor handled the return and refund very well. Anyway, product recommended, at $60. https://www.amazon.com/Walky-Dog-Exerciser-strength- Paracord/dp/B003OYIAW4?tag=tdt01-20 On Sat, Jun 30, 2018 at 1:20 PM, Patrick Moore wrote: > Well, not quite "on" nor quite "Riv", but "beside" and "Hon Solo" which > was a Dahon fixed model with an official build nod to Rivendell. > > I seem to recall this being discussed before, but I can't find the thread. > Is there a safe and effective or usable (2 "must" qualities) device that > attaches to your bike, to which you can attach a leash so that the dog is > held a safe distance from the bike? > > The device can attach either to frame (tho' the HS doesn't have the > diamond design) or to a rear rack. > > I've seen such things advertised, but I'd like to get others' real world > experience with whatever such device they may have used. > > What have you used, and how did it work? > > The photo shows the HS before I attached the folder-specific rack. > > Riv content, from interview with Dahon's Product Dev Mgr: > > ... the selection of retro components (Brooks, > Sugino, Nitto Moustache, Suzue) are inspired by one of my mentors > Grant Petersen of Rivendell.

[RBW] Re: Dogs on Rivs -- leash "wand"?
I use the Walky Dog thing linked above for a medium-sized pit on my Atlantis, but found the seat post thing to be less optimal than this: https://www.amazon.com/Walky-Dog-Rider-Attachment-Accessory/dp/B009SMLTT2/ref=pd_bxgy_199_img_3?_encoding=UTF8_rd_i=B009SMLTT2_rd_r=9bba0a78-8080-11e8-8137-95af0e3aa013_rd_w=X7dwx_rd_wg=bF4ro_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER_rd_p=3914568618330124508_rd_r=HC7QTJ1C407DASAY35QF_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims_rd_t=40701=1=HC7QTJ1C407DASAY35QF which puts him a bit further back and is considerably more stable. I was much lampooned a while back for posting pics of my pvc dogwalker invention, which went through the rear triangle of the nitto large rack and had a lead off each side for my (now departed) golden retrievers. It worked ok, but a dog on either side means you need quite a bit of space. In truth, though both me and the mutt enjoy our rides, the biggest liability of any of these devices is the random occurrence of squirrels.

[RBW] Re: Dogs on Rivs -- leash "wand"?
The Bike Tow Leash is what I use. It works great, attaches low at the rear triangle which is important for me with my 80 lbs athletic lab/hound. http://www.biketowleash.com/ I bought it at the Dog Outdoors, they have lot's of good dog stuff and also carry the other style which mounts high on the seat post but that would not work for me and my hound. https://www.thedogoutdoors.com/ I have it mounted on a mid eighties Miyata MTB with Bosco bars and a setback post...the old adjustable one with lot's of setbackso I can put all my weight on the back wheel and my foot on the outside pedal when I need to ground him in place. But he has pulled me over from a stand still when he was a bit younger, he is all muscle and was very enthusiastic as a youngster...well come to think of it he still is the same in his middle age but we are both smarter now. He loves it and it works wonders. Funny thing is though that we also have an 11 lb terrier mix, the maker does not recommend its use with small dogs but she insists and she loves it just as much. It took some getting used to with the small dog but the clever device really does work well at keeping the dog in a safe place.

[RBW] Re: Dogs on Rivs -- leash "wand"?
Training, training, training. No wand needed. Approached a woman on bike with dog on leash from behind on a paved trail through a wild area. Large dog on right. About 15 feet ahead a large jackrabbit broke cover from the right, crossing the trail pactically under the dogs nose. I briefly wondered if I had my first-aid kit to deal with the certain disaster... But the dog simply hesitated to watch the rabbit cross. It's all about the training. Cheers! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Dogs on Rivs -- leash "wand"?
Not a direct response to your question but I have biked with my Golden on a leash that I held onto while biking. The only bike I feel comfortable doing this with is my Brompton. With the lower step over and just kind of more open bike, it just felt safer should he try to do something other than trot along beside me -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Dogs on Rivs -- leash "wand"?
I used a walky dog with my last dog and she loved it. A 15 to 20 minute run at about 10mph every morning kept her very happy (i.e. less destructive) and forced me to get in some saddle time before work. She was a 65 pound very active shepherd mix who wanted greet any other dog she saw so I had to keep alert to any distractions. When I saw another dog it was interval time as she wanted to run and see the other dog and I had to make the run more interesting for her. As we passed the other dog she would try to run perpendicular to the bike's path so be prepared to counter lean against the pull. It did do some cosmetic damage to the downtube sticker so I ended up wrapping the tube with handlebar tape. You will want to use a harness that allows the leash to attach between the dog's shoulder blades. One other caution is you need to get out early in the day as the road gets hot and paws don't take to heat. I will train my next dog to use it, Molly loved it so much and got so excited when she saw me grabbing the bike and wand.

[RBW] Re: Dogs on Rivs -- leash "wand"?
Patrick, I sent you a private email, but I will elaborate here. I own the Wally-dog device in your Amazon link. I used it half a dozen times for a strong 70 lbs Labrador. It worked well and as advertised. It kept him from getting under wheel. Some training is needed in getting your dog to “heel” and “stop” especially big dogs. In the end, my dog was too strong physically and stubborn for me to safely use it with him. For a smaller, better trained canine, it would work well. I clamped it to my seatpost with no problem.

[RBW] Re: Dogs on Rivs -- leash "wand"?
Would prefer a device that has a removable "wand" with a small bracket that can bolt to the seat or chain stay, so that the wand can be removed. Has anyone used this? Will it clamp to a fattish seat or chain stay? https://www.amazon.com/Walky-Dog-Exerciser-strength-Paracord/dp/B003OYIAW4?tag=tdt01-20 Of course, they don't bother to tell you the largest and smallest diameters that the clamp will fit.
