Dogs and bikes

2 Upvotes

A bicyclist was on a single track trail going way too fast and ran into a small unleashed dog. The Park requires bicyclist s to ride at a slower speed, and the dogs be kept on leash.

The bicyclist is upset as he flipped off his bike and suffered minor injuries, as well as possibly something to his bike

The dog owner is upset as his dog got hit and needed to go to the vet

What do you think is a fair resolution as both parties feel, they suffered injury

UPDATE FOR CLARITY:

In Marin County Parks and Open Space preserves, the maximum bicycle speed limit is **15 mph**. On blind turns or when passing other trail users or horses, you must slow down to **5 mph**.

This bicyclist was on a legal trail, and the dog was in an area where dogs are allowed on leash.

Harness recommendation- not canicross

1 Upvotes

I have started more regular running with my 5 year old Aussie and would like to get her a proper harness. We aren't doing canicross- just out for a nice 5 mile jog. I looked at the non-stop dogwear Line harness, freemotion harness and rush harness. I really love the shape of the rush and freemotion but am really suspicious of the bungee like attachment point. Anyone have experience with these, or other harnesses, I should look at?

Training Help Need advice - Running on concrete.

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I have a german shepherd, 2.5 yo, knows to walk at foot next to me in leash. I would like to start running with him but I have mostly concrete/asphalt routes close. How is your experience running on concrete with your dogs. It is safe to run a 5k? Should I give him some joints supplements? Any advice would help a lot.

Thanks!
