V2.0-180° Rotating Dog Bike Leash - with Shock Absorbers and Quick Attach Mechanism | Carbon Fiber | Detachable, Adjustable for The Smoothest Ride- Patent Pending (Black)

At first I wondered if this would be worth the price. Now having used it for a while now, its worth it. I have a medium sized husky and this is one of the most helpful tools I have to exercise my dog. There are days she just wants to jog or run and it is the perfect solution. My dog also has some reactivity when seeing other dogs and I was concerned about my bike getting pulled over. The shock and swing bar mechanism really does work and prevents the bike from falling and allows my dog safe movement without affecting the bike. (I feel a slight tug while the shock and the swing bar keep the dog moving with the bike). I've experienced riding by other dogs/distractions and can keep moving forward and keep my eyes ahead without worry. The leash attachment for the dog works great with the harness we use. All in all, this product is well designed and thought out for safety and ease of use. The product support is also 5 star. I had some initial set up questions and between the video and the feedback from the manufacturer about set up I was able to resolve things quickly. Love this product!

This bike dog leash is really great, my dog and I have been using it several times a week for the whole summer. It is very clever.It was very easy to install, is rugged, and very practical. The part that stays with the bike is small and unobtrusive. The pole and leash part snap right into the bike.I clip the leash onto my pup and walk her to my bike. Then I snap the pole onto the bike and we are ready to go! The pole swivels about 180 degrees so the dog can't get in front of the bike or get into the front wheel, but can switch sides as needed. It doesn't impede pedaling at all. I have a wooden back rack, and very occasionally the leash will get hung up on the rack, but the dog can still run, and it's easy to free.I have a 40 pound wheaten terrier that LOVES to run. She gets extremely excited when I ask her if she wants to go biking and pick up this bike leash! We've been riding bikes together for years with me holding her leash, which does work but is a bit tricky and dangerous for both rider and dog.To use the effectively, you want to ride smoothly. You need to telegraph your plans so the dog can anticipate what you are doing. You also have to be mindful to leave the dog room and make sure she has acceptable ground under foot. the dog also has to "get it", you'll likely want to take some time to acclimate your dog to how this works and what her limits of motion are.The leash attaches to the seat post, so if the dog pulls she will pull your bike along but not yank on your arm, you are using your whole body weight to control the dog.We did have one accident using this leash. At the last moment my dog decided to go on the other side of a big steel bollard. I saw her do it out of the corner if my eye, and the next thing I was over the handlebars sprawled on the ground! Neither of us got hurt, which I attribute to the shock cord. The fall was alot easier on her than me! The leash part is attached to a stretchy bungee shock cord in the pole. It has the perfect amount of springiness - normally it feels like a regular unyielding leash. Under severe load it starts to stretch. This makes it safe for the dog.I really love this thing, I think it's a genius design, and well executed! It is very fun to bike with my dog, and we both love it!

This is really great. I attached my dog with a no pull harness and she immediately took to it. Easy to connect to bicycle seat bar.

We recently rescued a one year old Malinois that requires more exercise that we expected. The Malibi has been a fantastic addition to our exercise route. It is the only thing we found that allows your dog to move freely from one side of your bike to the other. She can follow or run along side without any rider adjustment.The fact your pet is not tethered to you while riding was the main reason for purchasing this item. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to safely have you dog run with you while riding. The spring action inside the shock absorber allows you to be in total control of your bike at all times.One thing to note: if you have a cruiser you may need to raise your seat higher than you like for the shock absorber to clear the tire or fender. If you have a rack on the back you might need to remove it.In spite of that I still recommend this for dogs that like and need more exercise that just walking or playing ball.

Have only used a couple times but very pleased so far.
