Bike Tow Leash – Hands-Free Dog Leash Biking Attachment

Dogs need regular exercise in order to thrive and live a happy and healthy life. While all dogs obviously need to be taken on walks daily to go potty and exercise a bit, just those walks alone aren't enough for them to stay healthy. In fact, regular exercise for dogs such as running is essential, as it not only supports their physical health and helps keep them in shape, but it also contributes to their mental health, as it provides them with mental stimulation and a way to release excess energy. As such, whenever you're going on bike rides, taking your dog with you can be a wonderful way to provide them with a healthy form of exercise and a means to release excess energy. For teaching your dog safe biking habits and ensuring they stay safe when bringing them along on bike rides, the Bike Tow Leash is your go-to solution.

The Bike Tow Leash is a hands-free dog leash biking attachment that allows dog owners to take their dogs with them on bike rides and have them running safely at the side of their bike. It features a proprietary Smart Arm technology that helps keep your dog at a safe distance from it by automatically providing loose leash reward to encourage a correct running position beside you while communicating direction and speed changes, which consequently also prevents them from tipping and steering the bike or getting tangled.

By using this dog leash biking attachment, dog owners have a safe way of taking their pups with them on bike rides. Plus, it can also be used with trikes, mobility scooters, and even wheelchairs!

Now, let's have a slightly more detailed look at the Bike Tow Leash and see exactly how this dog leash biking attachment is designed to work.

DESIGN & SPECS

Starting with its size, this dog leash biking attachment measures exactly 29 inches long, making it long enough to keep your dog at a safe distance away from your bike, while securely supporting dogs weighing anywhere from 10 lbs. to 185 lbs.

The Bike Tow Leash also sports a cheerful and colorful design, as its body comes in a single bright color, which can be either Orange, Red, or Yellow.

Moreover, this dog leash biking attachment also packs a rugged rubberized construction, which gives it great durability, ensuing a lost-lasting use for many years.

Moving on to the innovative design that enables this dog leash biking attachment to keep your dog running safely at the side of your bike. For achieving that, the Bike Tow Leash utilizes a proprietary Smart Arm technology that helps to keep your dog at a safe distance from your bike at all times by automatically providing loose leash reward to encourage a correct running position beside you while communicating direction and speed changes.

In turn, this safe positioning also helps to prevent your dog from tipping and steering the bike, as well as from getting tangled.

Integrated at the end of its Smart Arm, there's also a small metallic clasp that can be attached either to your dog's collar, or alternatively, to a harness.

Lastly, it's also worth noting that this dog leash biking attachment has also received a 5-star approval rating by the American Pet Association to be safe for biking with your dog.

SET UP / INSTALLATION

When it comes to installing it onto your bike, know that the Bike Tow Leash has a quick and easy set up process, which should only take you a couple of minutes.

For its installation, this dog leash biking attachment comes together with a standard clamp which can be adjusted to have it fit the left side your bike (with its clip facing forward), allowing you and your dog to go biking together side by side.

Furthermore, it also comes with a single sprocket (as its right-side adjustment) consisting of an outer clamp that's meant to be rotated inside the black coupling so that the clip end of the Bike Tow Leash points forward when mounted on the right side of your bike.

While on the subject of its installation, it’s important to note that while this dog leash biking attachment is originally designed to fit on the left side of most metal frame bicycles, the company highly recommends that dog owners attach it to the right side of their bike in order to keep their dog on the inside of the sidewalk/trail so that they’re protected from traffic.

(For dog owners who want to have it attached to the left side of their bike, know that the company does offer a left side leash, but it's definitely recommended to attach it to the right side of your bike instead of the left, so keep that in mind.).

Regardless of the installation method you choose to go with, the end result is a reliable solution that enables dog owners to bring their dogs with them on bike rides and have them running safely at the side of their bike.

In addition to using it with bicycles, the Bike Tow Leash can also be used with tadpole trikes, mobility scooters, and can also be adapted to wheelchairs, thus allowing dog owners to take their dogs with them on strolls when riding such types of vehicles.

FINAL THOUGHTS

All in all, this dog leash biking attachment provides dog owners with a safe and reliable way to take their dogs with them on bike rides and have them running along side their bike at a safe distance. With it, your dog will learn safe biking habits in just a few strides.

Not only that, but it also allows owners to take their four-legged friends with them on strolls and having their dogs walking along side their trike, mobility scooter, or wheelchair.
