Nice one. Yes, it's a competitive sport that some take very seriously indeed.

They're breeding new types of dog just for the purpose of racing. 'Eurohounds', crosses of greyhound and German shorthaired pointers (GSP) called 'Greysters'. Big, ultra fast (greyhound traits), amazing strength and stamina from the GSP. They can go like huskies in warmer climes and don't need a fur coat because they're not staying out in the snow all night.



Me and Jet have been at this for over 2 years now, and have become quite the resource, I actually run a webpage of members that do this pastime. Here's one guy and his 2 Siberian huskies.

I don't need to really hook up my dog to the bike as he's a big brain type dog. Obedient, focused and clever. Basically, exactly what we bred sheepdogs for. Anyway, when you've only 6 foot of leash between you and the mutt it gets very scary at times. We free-run mostly. It's still great fun with not so much adrenaline.

Nothing's perfect.

Unleashed control.

Misty but dry at least.

Nice and warm today. Even warmer last night no doubt!

You seem to have quite a lot of forest there.

You

You seem to have quite a lot of forest there.

It's in the heart of Worcestershire, not too far from the vale of Evesham where they grow all the fruit. It's quite countrified hereabouts. Considering I work in the urban sprawl of Birmingham, I'm blessed with all the accessible green around here. I can't complain.

If you have a dog, these are a bargain. Cheap and effective. £4 from B&M, UK. USB charged, charging lead included. 3 hour charge time. Lasts for up to 6 hours on strobe mode. It's a solid plastic reflective hose that you just cut to fit your dog's neck size. Comes in a variety of colours. Recommended.

It was sunny and dry all day. Yet the place was still a bog. I was lucky to stay on going downhill.

I don't know which one of the seven dwarfs this guy was. But he wasn't 'Happy'.

I managed to shoot a little video with the AM-1000 last Sunday. My dog insisted to come with me so I am not going very fast but the dog ist actually quite fun to watch and really enjoys it. Do not expect anything fancy. It is just a relaxed ride in the park behind my house. I hope you like it despite my lack of any riding skills:

Cheers,

Kerim

Now that was brilliant, and easily the best clip that I seen for a very long time. I really loved that there was no music, and all that you could hear was the bike and the sounds of nature. Superb.

Loved it. Subscribed. It's the best walk a dog can get.

There's no shame in having the second best ebiking dog in the world.

I play music as an alert to clear the roadkill out of the way.
