We have coupled our fabulous Hundcycler Harness-500100H with the Springer Jogger for the total man/dog cycling experience. There are many bike attachments out there but the beauty of this system is not only the proven Springer Bike attachment but our Hundcycler Harness. Our functional and comfortable harness was designed with several safety and stress issues in mind. First of all it was designed so all the stress points of pulling are on the padded chest and padded back top of the dog. I would never want to bike having a lead attached to my dogs neck. That would be a recipe for injury. This would just be too much stress on the dog’s neck and the power of a dog pulling is in its chest not its neck. You have more control of the dog while biking as you are attached to the dog’s body and the dog cannot twist and turn around on you as easily as it can when in just the collar.
This harness is very easy to put on as it slips over the dogs head and has two side release buckles on the sides of the girth strap. Both the girth and front shoulder straps have adjusting slides so the harness can be adjusted for your dog’s size. There are no flopping hanging straps on this harness so no straps to get tangled up in your bike spokes or wrapped around the dogs legs, causing injury. The padded chest and top are not only sheepskin padded but felt lining is sandwiched between the fabric and sheepskin. The front of the dog is visible at night as the webbing running vertical on the chest is reflective.
To attach the harness to the bike there is a heavy welded D-ring. On top of the harness there is also a flashing LED light that can be removed, or turned off when not in use, just another safety feature of the Hundcycler System. Biking my dogs is one of my favorite activities. Training a dog to run alongside your bike is fairly easy. My dogs get so excited to go biking that they sit by the bike awaiting the harness. So do the Schutzhund AD or just enjoy biking with your hund.
