That looks pretty cool. So which is better? To spring or not to spring? I'm going to order one or other over the weekend I think

Dawn - how do you use it with a border? Do they just have a really long line?

The plastic clip is useless, ours broke twice before we gave up on it. We now just use a neck line

It does work, especially for simple fitness. We have one on our bike, we don't use it often. but it comes in handy at times

I assume you use it like any other dog. You can put the bracket higher or lower up the back post, so lower for smaller dogs.

What a great site. I'm not gonna risk taking the dogs with me on my bike whenI have a stumpy let knee - it's asking for trouble.

I have bought the inserts for the DogBag tha tI have though and a couple of other things. decent prices too.

Wonder if I could replace the plastic clip with a metal one, what do you think, or could use my neckline

I use the springer device but threw the plastic clip away & put on a metal one instead, i actually use 2 lines/ metal clips just incase 1 should break when they pull a bit.

Oh fab, thanks for the link borderdawn. Are you still biking with your dog? Is it going well? How long did you start out with at first.
