The Dog Runner, formerly Springer said, scores here with a strong metal spring cushion the jolts of crowd-pulling dogs reliably. In addition, the power of the dog is significantly lower as in a hand-held or placed around the body line, what the impact is also significantly reduced on the wheel. Under no circumstances are suddenly introduces constant or in a different direction Jumping Dog longer causes you verreißt the steering wheel.
The position of the dog is released when Dog Runner optimal: The dog is out next to the wheel and fixed so that it can not get in front of the front tire can still run into the wheel side.
The U-shaped metal tube with the help of the accessories easy to assemble by me handcrafted rather moderate gifted person on the bicycle. Assuming that the frame has a round cross-section and not flattened, and provided that there are no welded eyelets for guiding any cable or the holding of drinks devices in the way. Then the Dog Runner ends quickly in the box.
Another weak point is the cable that comes to connecting the carabiner, which secures the dog with the steel spring. Far away any hobbies such as sailing or macramé handed my knots on the first attempt does not establish a secure connection. That ended with a bruise on my thigh, because one of the nodes just broke at the moment as a dog joyfully dashed forward, while I was still standing next to the wheel. However, since a friend more capable in this respect has produced reasonable node keeps everything perfectly. Who is more anxious, could easily replace the rope by to your own specifications to be produced belt connection from one of the many manufacturers of dog harnesses and leashes.
Brings us to the topic Dishes: It is highly recommended to run the dog at Dog Runner in harness, so that any surges from damaging the cervical spine and larynx. This is especially true if the dog zugfreudigen variety belongs and the braking hand the rider afterwards hurts more than the calves. The habituation to the Dog Runner stood with us by the way problems are. I went for a walk with the dog on a leash at first by bicycle, the wheel sliding. Then I connect it to the Dog Runner, still pushing the wheel and the dog friendly appealing when he was preparing to stand still or to drag. After a few minutes we could losradeln then and have razed a small tour.
Conclusion:
When the wheel is Dog Runner-compatible, I know of no better system to safely carry the dog at the wheel.
