Riding with Emma
In the gray light of early morning, Kristen pushes her bike out of the garage, steps on, and begins pedaling. Emma (her tail-wagging sidekick) runs alongside as they exit the alleyway onto the road. Then, Kristen says, “Trailer!” and Emma hops in for the ride to work. Read on to learn about Kristen's off-road cargo trailer with suspension that allows her to bring Emma along on her bike rides.
Frequently Asked Questions
When a dog and human bike on-leash together, with the dog running out front and pulling, that's called bikejoring. Check out the Omnijore™ System if you're interested in trying it out.
With the right preparation and planning, you can set you and your dog up for a fun time biking together. Practice getting your dog comfortable around your bike and using their dog biking gear. When you’re ready to head out, be mindful of warm weather, since your dog is working extra hard while you bike. And we always recommend checking in with your vet first to answer any questions that are specific to your dog's health.
Biking with your dog is a much faster paced activity than walking, hiking, or running with them, so they may tire more quickly. Start with short durations and work your way up. Take plenty of breaks, pack more water than normal, and keep an eye on your companion to make sure they aren’t tiring out. It’s always better to cut things short than to overdo it.
A hands-free dog leash is a great first step in building out your dog biking gear essentials. It creates a dynamic connection between you and your dog while still leaving plenty of room for them to run — without getting too close to the bike. We recommend connecting to a dog harness rather than a collar when bikejoring. Check out our Roamer™ Leash and harnesses, or our complete Omnijore™ System. And since they’ll be covering lots of ground, dog shoes are a great idea to help protect their paws.
