Let customers speak for us
from 517 reviewsWith my wife running rescues we have always had dogs in the house. But none of them required as much exercise as Sampson, our 4yr old 75lb Doberman. After struggling to keep up with him while running, I figured I would try the biketow leash. The main reason was the attachment point being low enough that he wouldn't pull me over if everything goes south. Most other bike attachments I looked at hook below the seat and that is a recipe for disaster if you have a large breed. Wow, what a difference. We ride a 3-4 mile loop every other day, he is in a full run ~18 mph the entire time. He absolutely loves it and will pull me along for about half the ride. But when he gets home he is exhausted and much easier to be with for the next two days. Sampson and I thank you for taking the initiative a creating this great system. We have been using the system for about 3 months. I will post some pics and videos shortly. Thanks again
I love going on bike rides with my belgian shepherd, we went on a cycle track to the beach it was magic ! She is usually bike/joggers reactive but she is getting used to seeing a lot of bikes and joggers during our bike rides 😍
I feel like she loves her new activity and I feel so much more safe compared to my last springer bike attachement that I barely used because she reacted to something and went in front of the bike.
The customer service was very good they made sure I ordered everything I needed to fit my bike as I ordered from France and couldn't re order anytime soon!
Thank you for the BTL !!
Reliable attachment, keeps me and my dog safe.
I live in a rural area with a lot of loose dogs. With the tow leash I am able to ride with all three dogs (two
Border Collies and an Aussie). Once three pit bulls ran out at us and all three dogs pulled like crazy. I was able to chase them off with a foghorn but the bike never even rocked. The tow leash kept us all safe. Mike recommended that I ride with all three dogs on one side. I'm not crazy about this because the outside dog tends to crowd the other two into the trike because he or she feels too far from me. I want to get another tow leash and run one dog off the other side. I couldn't be happier with this leash and the couplers that I also bought.
I haven't been on a bike in decades but my new behaviorist/trainer said my girl needs to get more than her daily 2 hour walk and recommended the bike tow leash. I bought a 'trike' thinking I'd be safer, installed the bike tow leash and O M G we had a BLAST!!! Even when she decided she was going to run after some neighbor dogs who give her grief, I was able to control the bike with minimal drift. I love this thing SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! I tell everyone about it and am making the trike available to neighbors with dogs to try. She is finally happy, smiling and relaxed for the first time since her rescue 2 years ago. So worth every penny. THANK YOU!!!! (And Thanks Todd Langston @ ocpacklife for bringing me to you!)
Bought the bike tow leash to exercise my 4 year old Vizsla who never ever gets tired. She took to it immediately and looks forward to our rides. We took it camping and had no problems with distractions. If she pulls I barely feel it. So happy we got this and now have a new way to exercise together. I also purchased the right side attachment and collar. Happy customer!!
The Bike Tow Leash has given my students so much freedom with their service dogs. Thank you so much for designing this excellent tool for disabled people in wheelchairs.
Much safer way to exercise my husky. With the BTL, my dog can't pull the bike over or go in front of the tire. The BTL is much more secure and comfortable for both rider and dog,
Easy to install.
Much better than the ones that attach under the seat!
I am an elderly person, but young enough to have a young dog and a trike. Second childhood. The Bike Tow Leash allows me to adequately exercise my dog comfortably and safely. He is overjoyed to go on his various excursions. I am able to provide him full out runs, leisurely trots and Sniffari. It is a great experience for both of us.
1st day huge success. We walked two laps around the RV park and road once around the park and then walked once more. So far calling it a success and very happy and very hopeful. Thanks for making a great product. Appreciate you! Lucy’s human
This is the greatest thing ever! My big Husky is a lot for me to handle but she loves to run in the morning. This keeps her from bolting in a direction that may be harmful and still gives her the ability to let loose and run at full speed.
Our 19 month old Rhodesian ridgeback got the hang of it pretty fast. She is a very high energy dog, so it is a great way to help her expel her energy. She loves going on bike rides with us.
We attached the bike to leash to my husbands motility scooter armrest. We initially hooked it to the back harness of our dog but we get better control utilizing the lower chest hook. My husband is becoming more excited about being out and about with his service dog. Great product.
This bike leash is hands down the best out there. Riding with my freakisly strong pup by my side feels totally secure, knowing she won't dart under my tires or pull my bike out from under me. Still, there are some tweaks that could elevate this product further. Being able to snap the leash on and off quickly would be a game-changer. and the extra charge for the cainstay clamp seems a bit unnecessary since it's not a huge departure from the original. Offering flat or curved options at a similar price just makes more sense. But hey, despite that, I'm obsessed with this thing. It's a game-changer for adventures with my bestie. Plus, shoutout to their customer service – they've been super helpful throughout the purchase process. Highly recommend!
I love the Bike Tow Leash. It’s well made and has a great design that keeps my dog safe. The customer service is outstanding and they answered all my questions. I have tried other bike attachments and the BTL is far superior in keeping both rider and dog safe while enjoying bike rides together. I highly recommend this product.

My very athletic 55 pound dog tends to pull on a leash when walking, but she moves along beautifully by my bike on the tow leash and just loves to go. She does sometimes pull to the side a little when she sees a rabbit or other dog, but I hardly feel any movement on my heavy, wide tire bike because of the low and far back attachment point of the tow leash. We have had about 40 rides so far, using a variety of speeds during a ride and working up to about 10 miles in cool weather (30-50 degrees F). The tow leash has been trouble free. I have only two reservations. 1) I noticed that the clamshell clamp can open some when we are stopped and my dog comes closer to the bike. This doesn't happen when the dog stands away from the bike, as when underway, and my dog has never been released. 2) My bigger reservation is the suggestion to use a collar rather than a harness. My dog wears a Ruffware harness that goes around her body and attaches to the tow leash well behind her neck. It is buckled loosely enough to give her room to breathe, but there is no chance that it will come off. I think that a collar would put too much force on her neck in case of even a minor accident and would risk injuring her. Finally, I hesitated to pay a much higher price for the Bike Tow Leash compared to other products, but, yes, it seems very durable, well designed, and it makes it possible for my dog and I to have fun and stay safe too.
This product is the best available, not even comparable to the standard seat post bar attachments. Thanks to the exceptional engineering, design, and quality of this product, I can safely take my highly reactive dog outside, with minimal/ no training. A dog that is terrified of everything and lunges unexpectedly. Giving us both fresh air, exercise, and desperately needed bonding. This product has given a chance for a dog that would otherwise have to be returned to the shelter and, in all likelihood, euthanized. I don't know if we'll make it, but it's giving us a chance. Thank You!!!
I cannot say enough good things about the bike tow leash. I have a 70lb strong human reactive dutch shepherd/malinois mix. I had canicrossed with him and was looking for a safe way to cycle with him. Unfortunately, because of his aggression I can't bikejor with him safely as he occasionally lunges at strangers. Fortunately, I found this product. Despite all the good reviews I read I was a bit hesitant to believe that my dog wouldn't be able to pull me over. Our very first cycle together he had a reaction and tried to lunge sideways and sure enough I didn't even budge - I just kept pedaling and we moved on.
Now I've taken him out every other day working to build endurance and we have SO MUCH FUN. He's finally able to run his heart out while respecting leash laws and I get to absolutely fly along with him. My only concern is that he does all the work so I'm not getting the cycling benefits! (haha).
There are very few products I've gotten that I would say have genuinely changed my routine and relationship with my dog for the better but this is definitely one. I recommend it to everyone, especially people looking for a safe and fun way to exercise reactive dogs. It's been a while since I've been able to go out and about the neighborhood completely stress free with my guy, but thanks to this bike tow we are just having a blast together again. It also helps get him in a good, well exercised headspace to work on his reactivity training. I've recommended this product to three people in person within the first week of using it and I won't stop talking about it anytime soon.
Mike was a legend helping us get properly set up and recommending the correct kit we needed for my specific bike (I got a right sided tow so that I would be blocking my dog from oncoming traffic on trails to aid his reactions). All around just a great experience and fantastic product. 10/10 I wish I could give more than 5 stars.
