Nice looking bike.
You'd get all the workout you ever need riding that up a hill.
It would be a shame to ride it only indoors. That thing needs to be outside and treated to some rough roads and rough handling!
Now, post a pic of the dog!
(Mine's a Lab-Collie-Shep mix and loves to run along with the bike.)

Has anyone tried this?
This looked like a novel idea and something I would like to try as a alt. form of exercise.
Here is the catch.......
This well toned lady might have tipped the scales at 120lbs, not much of a strain on ye olde cranks.
I, on the other hand, position the needle at a waifish and demure 260lbs.
Not wanting to explain what happened 3-4 times in an emergency room and then 15-20 times to friends, family and fellow workers when the pedal snaps off I found this on a GOOGLE search:

Would this be a good choice for this endeavor??
It resembles a beefed up version of what she was pumping on.
Just a thought.
