Usually we talk about fitness gadgets for people, but this one is for your pet. If you’ve got a big dog like an Alaskan Malamute that was born to pull dog sleds over great distances, chances are a walk around the block isn’t going to wear him or her out. Taking your dog for a bicycle ride is a great way to get him the exercise he needs, but it can be dangerous to try and handle a leash and steer and control the speed on your bike all at the same time. This is where the Springer Bicycle Dog Jogger comes in.
The Springer attaches to the side of your bike, leaving both your hands free for the handle bars. It has a low-mounted coil spring that absorbs and reduces your dog’s tugs and pulls, so it’s easier for you to keep your balance as you ride. It also keeps the dog at arm’s distance from the bike, so there’s no danger of him getting hit by the pedals or caught in the wheels. The device comes with a safety release mechanism that allows your dog to break away if he ends up on the wrong side of a post or tree somehow.
You can get the Springer online for less than $50:
