Walky Dog Low Rider Bike Attachment Accessory for Use with Walky Dog Bike Leash Only

I have a 50lb. Siberian Husky with loads of energy. I had originally purchased the Walky Dog and ran into complications as I am 5'3" and ride a 26" bike with the seat as low as it could go. The normal jig is designed to fit the stem(tube) of the bike seat. Because my bike is adjusted to fit me I couldn't get the jig to fit the bike. Even though the lowrider is meant for smaller dogs it worked perfectly for my Sibe. I tweaked it a little. Again as it is meant for smaller dogs and should normally be put at a 45 degree angle, I have mine at a 90 degree angle. Not how it was meant to be installed but works just the same. Also, the lowrider is orginally intended to be installed to the right side of the rear wheel so that if you do street riding your dog is always away from traffic. My bike however has a protection cage over the gears that prevented me from putting it on the right side. I don't do a lot of street riding so I went ahead and put it on the left. This makes mounting and dismounting a little more tricky but it works just the same. I love, love, love the walky dog! This is a fabulous product. The only suggestion I would have for anyone using the lowrider for a larger dog(and maybe even a smaller one with good strength) is to tighten it regularly, my husky is a puller, better safe than sorry.

I've had the Walky Dog which connects to the seat post for years and always hated how it would twist under enough pressure. The clamping mechanism could be improved. The overall fuctionality of the device is a must have for running my dogs with the bike. I got a really sweet cruiser lately and this was just the solution given the seat post would have been troublesome to mount (both height and positon). This mount installed easily and has worked great, event with my two dogs pulling at times.Note: While I won't take a star away for it, depending on how secure your rear axel mounting is, you may want to put a zip strip around this and the rear fork to keep it from rotating if the dog pulls. I had this issue at first due to the angle I mounted it, but have since put it more horizontally, tightening it up and no longer have an issue. A zip strip would have worked too, just to further help keep it in place. Star washer might be a good solution as well.Picture included is of one of my foster dogs posing with the newly mounted walky dog, before we went for a casual walk.

The clamp does not fit my bike. I live in the USA and ride with my dog on the right. This attachment did not fit on the right, left only. “Jimmied” it to work on the right. It worked great for a year. Dog is about 80#, pulls a little at other dogs. The piece would move with pulling, after a year of heavy use it snapped the bolt. Pure luck there were no injuries. If you plan on using on the right, use caution and inspect very frequently.

Terrible. Just terrible. Don't buy unless you enjoy having to MacGuyver your bike back into working condition after you bike breaks while using this product.I have used the walky dog system that attaches to the seat post for several months with zero problems.In fact, I often praise the seatpost system to other people at the dog park who see me ride up with my Siberian Husky.I read the glowing reviews about the low rider attachment and figured this would be an improvement.WRONG!First mile of the ride with my 50lb siberian husky was not great. Weight distribution was transferred from my seat post to the rear wheel. Now that may seem like a good idea at first. Believe me, its not. Think about stability for a second here. If someone hit you with a glancing blow at bicycle tire center height vs seatpost height, where would you experience the greatest impact to your control of the bicycle? You may be inclined to say its a even toss. Trust me, its not. Figure rider mass vs bike mass from the seat post down to the ground. Its not even close. The rider will always weigh more. Think about center of gravity.That first mile was a disaster. I weaved all over. My husky, Snow, knew the route. He didn't change anything. He did his usual. It was my change. My disastrous change. Terrible.OK. I figured. Lets just give it some time....I'm not used to this. I'll adapt.NOPE!We barely got into mile two when something started to make noise. I got off the bike and found my rear tire rubbing on the frame. As i attempted to adjust the QR on the rear wheel, I discovered the QR was now bent. Awesomeness. Never had to stop to readjust anything before. Now with this new low rider attachment, i'm having to stop and figure this bull crap out.BTW, siberian huskies just love to make unexpetected stops on their normal running routes. Oh, and they are always accommodating and easy going and will lay down and relax as you try to fix your bike in the dark with no tools and no lighting after dark.Long and short. We got home, eventually. I performed an autopsy on the bike and found the rear skewer had been bent so far out of straight that it took a pair of pliers to straighten it. And...Yup...while straightening, it broke. So i just paid for this low rider attachment to break my bike frustrate me beyond belief and cost me more money to have to buy a new QR.
