From cats to vacuum cleaners to - dogs: check this: a guy I met this weekend has a setup where his dog rests on the aerobars of his tri-bike. For added precaution, the owner loops a lanyard around his neck which attaches to the dog's collar.

His dog loves this, apparently: if the owner heads out the door with his bike, the dog whines if it thinks he's not going

Photographic proof:



You can't make this **** up!
