Bike Tow Leash

Do not even think about this unless your dog is extremely well trained. If that is the case then I think this product is probably the best one out there for biking with your animal.
My Belgium Malinois has had extensive obedience training. I'm sure I could enter shows and win gold ribbon awards if i wanted to.
That being said, i had no trouble at all getting my dog acquainted with this leash. We were riding around within 5 minutes of me introducing it,
I went with the right side option as I feel this is the ONLY way to go (at least in USA.)
On one of the very first right turns we made, i guess my dog got a little nervous and decided go go around the back wheel to the left side of the bike. This of coarse caused a crash. We took right turns very slowly and wide for awhile until my dog got more accustomed.
There was a similar incident when we came upon someone walking two large dogs haphazardly on leashes. i guess my dog just feels more protected and wants to get on my left side when on my left when dealing with new possible threatening situations. We now slow down or stop when other dogs are approaching.
Today we were out for a short ride in my neighborhood when all of a sudden I could feel my dog pulling and when i looked back I saw my dog was being attacked by an unleashed pit-bull. I stopped and jumped off my bike and because my dog as wearing a Martingale style collar my dog was able to release itself from the bike leash. Nevertheless, I had to jump in and separate the two dogs. None of us were injured, but this was certainly an unpleasant experience.
Taking all this into account I would have to say DO NOT use a bike leash setup with your dog unless your dog is extremely well trained at the very least with recall and healing.
For now, I will probably continue to use this, but only with caution at ALL times.

I was hurt in a rear end collision in 2024 which has prevented me from being able to run with my doberman Tank like we did before the accident. Now because of the bike tow leash I can take him out at a pace he loves. The BTL was easy to install with the instructions and we went on our first ride immediately. My dog was so happy to run again and I was thankful to be able to enjoy that with him again. Without the BTL I don't know if I could have ever safely run my dog again. Thank you for inventing this for families like us.

With 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 !!

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.
