That sounds epic! I hope you had some decent brakes?

Im thinking of going pretty long distances - maybe 500-700 mile tours - as well as regular 50 mile rides on weekends. So lightweight is important.

So i suppose kids and dogs are baaasically the same thing - so just get the lightest kids trailer that is rated for hound's weight, that you can find/afford?

This is basically my biggest fear! Also raises the question of whether he gets leashed in the trailer - adding risk to injury if I crash - but sausages/squirrels are a core concern if not.

Pretty sure most dogs haven't learnt to undo zips yet, you're sorted.

Just train your dog to ride alongside you, when I'm on the laptop I'll post the vid of cycling dogs.

This looks amazing. James, do you zip up that trailer while you ride?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
