In terms of bikes, they’re so hi-tech now we have no idea what’s good. But we both doubt the need for titanium frames with shock absorbers, and 4k price tags. And here’s our final thought – tandem??

Even without dogs, in our house we call them divorcycles. With dogs, it’d be a bloodbath! I’ve seen people mountain biking on them, and I think they’re crazy. That gasp in the forest is me, staring. Lumpy terrain and two bodies shifting around . . . nope.

Then again, if anyone could train two Beagles to tandem mountain bike, it’s you two. But, I’d suggest stacking the odds more in you favor and going in pairs. 4 wheels good! No offense Kirby.

I would have thought that there aren’t that many people in our situation where your dog loves to play with others but can’t be trusted to stay close

And then there’s those pesky Beagle types to think about. I’ve tried running with both of them tied to my canicross belt and they can never resist having a play fight when I least expect it. It’s one thing dragging two wrestling dogs behind you when you’re on foot, but on a tandem? Nope, I’m dedicated to my doggies, but not that dedicated.

the enclosed dog area is still in talks! i received a letter back saying to come to the next meeting they are having to propose my plan. just waiting to hear back when it is. was thinking about going down to the park and stopping some dog walkers to get some opinions, thought it would look good to present some actual local feedback. 🙂

I didn’t know that you’d taken things so far! Read More
