Default Springer Bike Leash/Harness-Let 'em RUN-Dogs love SPRINGER from the very first moment

No practice is necessary. Reduces your dogs tugs by up to 90%. Mounted or dismounted in 2 sec. - using no tools. Both your hands are on the handlebar at all times. SPRINGER arm with spring can be mounted on either side of the bike. Fits regular bikes, touring bikes and mountain bikes with the normal triangular shaped frames. Keeps your dog gently, but firmly in place at your side, protected from traffic, pedals, and wheels. The low mounted coil spring absorbs and reduces the dog's sudden jerks and pulls, making it easier to keep your balance. Safety release frees the dog instantly should it run on the wrong side of a tree, hydrant, pole, or similar obstacle. SPRINGER installs on either side of most standard ladies' and mens' bikes, including mountain bikes and touring bikes.Between trips SPRINGER may be mounted or dismounted in two seconds, using only the tip of your finger. SPRINGER comes complete with a specially designed comfortable biking harness, to allow your dog to pull with its shoulders and chest, instead of with its neck.
Customer Review: Great control and exercise
I have two dog-aggressive rescue dogs that were not getting their exercise because they were so difficult to walk. I bought this product (elsewhere) but am very pleased with it. I do try to stay very aware when I am biking them (walking one of them I have become completely airborne I have been yanked so hard - so that helps me pay attention!). Also I want to make sure the dog is comfortable, so I monitor the tautness of the attachment. When we go near another dog and there is a problem I bike a bit faster to maintain control. I think this is a wonderful product - but yes, you should absolutely stay aware of your surroundings and your dog. (Sorry to hear that the other reviewer had such a bad time of it.)
Customer Review: Not as safe as they say!
I bought the Springer because it looked like a great idea. My dog needed to run off extra energy and I could get exercise at the same time. The first time my dog and I used the Spring together it was fine (we were both nervous). The second time, my dog was more relaxed and not paying as much attention. My dog was on my right side and saw a dog on my left. She darted to the left and pulled me off balance. I flew off the bike and ended up with a compression fracture to the ball of my upper arm and tore my rotator cuff. My dog is only 40 pounds and I am 160 pounds so the weight of the dog was not a factor. It is not as safe as they say, so please use caution.
