The Ingenuity of SPRINGER is a complete set with everything you need to start biking with your dog. SPRINGER is often called "the third hand on your bike", because it keeps your dog gently in place at your side, protected from traffic, pedals and wheels, and prevents it from getting entangled in the leash, while you may always have both your hands on the handlebars. SPRINGER's low-mounted coil spring absorbs and reduces as much as 90% of the force of your dog's unexpected tugs when it lunges to the side, making it so much easier to keep your balance. With SPRINGER you let your dog set the pace and never force it to run, you allow it to run -to its heart's content! No pre-training is necessary, (except that you must know how to ride a bike, of course).
Dogs love SPRINGER from the very first moment, and from then on they look forward to every trip. One reason is that the flexibility of SPRINGER is just as gentle to your dog as it is to you and your bike. So running SPRINGER is actually more comfortable for your dog than if you were jogging with the leash in your hand. Please note: It does not include a harness. Please use a harness that is suitable for your particular breed to allow your dog to pull with its shoulders and chest, instead of with its neck. Do not use a regular collar which may injure your dog.
Another reason why dogs love SPRINGER is the simple fact, that dogs love to run! In an emergency (for instance if you look the other way, while your dog runs on the wrong side of a lamp post) a special, patented "safety release" will free your dog instantly, without any discomfort to either of you. SPRINGER installs on either side of most standard ladies' and mens' bikes, including mountain bikes and touring bikes. Between trips SPRINGER may be mounted or dismounted in two seconds, using only the tip of your finger.
