“This was Sophie’s first bike ride. She didn’t like it at first but has now grown to love it. We just upgraded to a Burley Rover but don’t have photos yet. Many fun rides coming this summer!”

Sophie is riding in a Doggy Ride Trailer, though it sounds like her new ride is a Burley Rover.  The Burley Rover while no longer available is basically a simplified version of the Burley Tailwagon which by the way is still available at the BikeTrailerShop.com.

“This is my latest completed trailer with it’s happy passenger Quincy. This lady wanted a cargo hauler and something to haul her dog with.  With this particular box, the lid snaps off very easily so the trailer becomes a dog hauler.  She made a nice cushion for the bottom and the dog wears a little harness with 2 short leads so he can’t jump out of the trailer.”

In my estimation, Bob’s design looks solid, lightweight and offers some excellent functionality.  Keep up the good work, Bob and we look forward to seeing your next DIY Bike Trailer.

This post is for all of the animal and bicycle lovers out there.  Do you find it difficult to ride away from home with your loyal pet(s) staring longingly after you?  I know it is difficult for me!  My dog always makes a fuss when I leave home without him, and I really enjoy bringing him along on adventures.  Fortunately all the pet lovers can rest easy and bring their favorite furry friend(s) along on adventures and errands alike with a pet bike trailer.

One of our customers shared a few photos with us of her new Burley Tail Wagon trailer, which she uses to bring her dog along on various trips.  She and her dog Ennis have ridden all over town, and they both love it!

Pet bike trailers are useful for bringing your pet with you on longer bike rides, as well as for pets that can’t keep up with your active lifestyle, but don’t want to stay at home all the time. Just like bike child trailers, bike dog trailers can easily be converted to strollers, and some of them can even be converted to ski trailers!

Pet bike trailers are two-wheeled, which makes them more stable, while reinforced floors and side battens keep those friskier pets from escaping or tipping the trailer over. These features help to ensure that the trailer itself bears most of the load of your pet, in addition to making it safe for you and your furry companion. And best of all, pet bike trailers can easily be used to carry other types of cargo when not in use by your pet.
