Dogs need spout, one more, the others less. The gassigang is ever gazing for gas, at least for the owner of the four-legged friend, which then sits in the bicycle saddle and accompany himself from the dog.
Legally allowed is not only on forest and meadow trails. Because the road traffic regulations explicitly allow dogs to be conducted from the bicycle – for other animals does not apply.
Planning responsibly

Before the dog comes to the bike ride, it is of course responsible to explore whether it has grown the requirements. “Ten kilometers or more depending on the fitness and the dog breed already in it,” says Alexander Giebpler from the press service bicycle. However, there are also factors such as the age, the freedom of injury to the animal or the respective temperature.
Leash away from the handlebar
From the security reason, it is advisable to lead the dog to the bike main on cycle paths. So it can be avoided that he is overlooked or frightened by oncoming or overhauling wheels. The leash should not be tied to the handlebar – in a sudden movement of the dog threatens danger of falling, this all the more when he gets started. Trade holds special bike holders for the leash.

E-bikes enable the cycling dog owner a relaxed progress, for the four-legged friend itself, however, this can constitute a special challenge. If the condition is not sufficient for the entire route or the dog is basically no “follower”, there are taking possibilities. Smaller animals can be accommodated in special baskets for handlebars or luggage racks, the handlebar solution offering the advantage that the dog remains in the field of view of master or mistress. The basket should have a lockable grid, the animal passenger can not escape, but has good views at the same time.
