Love it. I've got a 5 month old Golden Retriever and he loves to ride. Started out riding him in a grocery pannier, but he outgrew that by 12 weeks. Bought a 100lbs max weight child trailer off craigslist and made it comfy for a dog. He can't get enough. Enjoy.

That isn't exactly a xtracycle, is it?

Sorry about your friend.

Genius bit of work....and what an awesome dog.

So sorry to hear about your friend... you (always) have my best thoughts.

badmother - You may have a really hard time with the bb on that bike as Crescent used a number of different bottom brackets and it could very well be Swiss (rare), French (obsolete), or the even rarer Thompson bottom bracket.

The Thompson resembles an Astabula but is not the same thing.

Phil Wood does make retaining rings for everything except Astabula cranks but it is a pricey option, Swiss bottom brackets are very rare, and although they are obsolete servicing a French threaded bb just got easier as Velo Orange will be releasing a sealed cartridge with French threading.

Some Crescents had a Swiss bb and a French threaded headset to make things just that much more interesting.

Thanks... but I really don't know that much (and am often baffled) and just do a lot of reading and studying of those who have gone before me.

I do tend to run into a lot of odd things and many really old bikes at the shop... we have had more than a few Crescents come in and several had Thompson bottom brackets.

I have never seen a Crescent of that design... all have been road bikes of medium quality.

I have yet to encounter a Swiss threaded bb here while I have become intimate with the challenges old French bikes offer and most of that stems from a lack of available parts.

I am learning new things every day...

Are there pictures around of this bike without the dog/bag on it?

I love your dog bike. My dog hates riding in the trailer I have. I think she's terrified because she's down low and can't see me. I'm considering getting a Torker Cargo T this year and putting a large basket on the front rack that would hold her. She doesn't move around much in the trailer, I have a seat belt harness that holds her in place. She just cries constantly and it gets louder the farther we go. I think she might be calm if she was higher and could see me. At least I'm hoping that's the case. I'd love to take her into the forest with me.

What does it say on that bottom bracket ?

Thinking that I should be taking my furballs out for a spin now that the weather is starting to get nice... with smaller dogs the carrying part gets a lot easier and my Shih Tzu loves going for rides.

All I had to do was get some proper baskets and they have also ridden in my panniers.

I couldn't help it....when I saw the thread title I it was talking about thought about some wacky way to power your bike by dog, a treadmill working the chain or some other contraption..... a quick google found some other contraption

Not exactly Dog Bikes ...... but they do contain cycle componants, and are hauled by dogs.

These dog rigs are all the rage here in the UK.

Badmother....out of curiosity....where is that Steamboat located? (my guess is Sverige)

cant now, he pasted away 2 months ago 13 year old Kerry blue terrier. mom works for spca, and we're doing fostering now. so maybe i'll get a chance in the near future.

the beagle/basset cross our family just fostered for few weeks would of been perfect for the trike version of this. he was like a tank for pulling and a cruise missile when running. was nice to jog with him but very hard to stop.
