Getting Zach used to and trying out his new trailer, which means myself and wife can get out and do more cycling at home and when out with the caravan. Looking towards next year’s holiday, we will take him to Germany around the Moselle Valley with lots of cycle tracks for us all to enjoy

Bike weight 15kg, max trailer weight 57kg (trailer 17kg, load capacity 40kg) Dog weight 24kg,

Max speed stamped on draw bar, on a straight road 15mph and 5mph when turning, a nice steady 10mph should do me.

Will tow it with my hybrid bike and not the road bike.

Let us know how you and Zach get on, we have long considered something similar for when our dogs get to elderly for long walks, but still enjoy getting out and about. We have Labradors, so hefty and roomy bit of kit required! Hope Zach has a good time!Happy

We've got one, if you visit somewhere like the Camel Trail in Cornwall you'll see plenty in action for pets and children. They are fairly easy on a nice flat run.Happy

Good luck with that. We tried one of these years ago for our dog.Not a chance, she was like Houdini. Couldn't believe how she managed to escape from the harness. It was such a shame as we also wanted to do more cycling when we had Poppy with us.
