Bikejoring: The Ultimate Guide for You and Your Dog
Want a fun new way to exercise with your dog? Try bikejoring! This exciting dog sport combines cycling with the energy of your furry friend. Whether you're wondering what is bikejoring, looking for bikejoring training tips, or searching for bikejoring near me, this guide has you covered. We'll cover everything from essential gear to safety precautions, so you and your pup can hit the trails safely and happily.
What is bikejoring?
Active Dog Sports describes bikejoring as “similar to traditional mushing on a sled except it’s with a bike.” Essentially, one dog or a team of dogs are leashed to a bicycle (with a person riding it) via a safe bike attachment, and they pull the rig (with help from their human peddling) like a sled.Key Takeaways
- Bikejoring requires a fit and enthusiastic dog. A love of running and pulling, combined with physical fitness, makes for a happy bikejoring companion. Prioritize your dog's comfort and enjoyment above all else.
- Proper equipment and training are essential for safe bikejoring. Invest in a quality harness, bungee line, and bike attachments. Thorough training on essential commands is crucial before hitting the trails.
- Connecting with other bikejorers can enrich your experience. Seek out online and local communities for valuable advice, training tips, and camaraderie. Learning from experienced enthusiasts can make your bikejoring journey smoother and more enjoyable.
Is Bikejoring for Me and My Dog?
Dog Breed Considerations
Many dog breeds can participate in bikejoring. Northern breeds like Huskies and Malamutes have a natural pull instinct, making them well-suited for the sport. However, other breeds, such as Border Collies, Labradors, and German Shepherds, also excel at bikejoring. The key requirement is a healthy, fit, and fully grown dog. Puppies should avoid this high-impact activity as their bodies are still developing. If you’re unsure about your dog's breed suitability, consult a veterinarian or a professional dog trainer specializing in dog sports.Health and Fitness Requirements
Bikejoring best suits medium to large, physically fit dogs. Smaller dogs may lack the strength for pulling, while larger dogs should be fully grown before starting. A general guideline is for dogs between 9 months and 10 years old. Proper training for both dog and human is essential for safety and enjoyment. Using the right equipment, like a proper harness and secure bike attachment, is also crucial. Bikejoring is often safer than having your dog run alongside your bike because of the controlled pulling motion. This activity provides excellent exercise for high-energy dogs and builds muscle mass.

The exact origins of bikejoring are not known, and we aren’t sure what time period bikejoring grew out of. However, we do know that it was born out of traditional dog sled mushing. It is thought that skijoring, in which a person on skis is pulled by a dog (in the snow), came out of dog sled mushing, and that bikejoring came after skijoring.Why is it called bikejoring?
“Bikejoring” is a bike-centric version of the word “skikjøring,” which is a Norweigeian term meaning “ski driving.”Popularity of bikejoring
It’s tough to say exactly how popular bikejoring is, but the sport, which was already well-established in Europe, has been gaining popularity in the US since about 2010. There are more and more bikejoring race events happening in the U.S. every year!

How This Family is Affording Their Dream Property Through Renting it Hourly to Dogs
Thousand Oaks, California has been a safe haven for Sniffspot host, Jen, since childhood. Having grown up in busy Santa Barbara, Jen, an introvert from an early age, would seek out solitude and serenity away from tourists attractions and droves of people visiting from elsewhere. “My grandparents own 60 acres about a 30 minute drive from here, and I grew up spending every summer and every holiday visiting them on the ranch,” Jen explained. “In Santa Barbara, we wouldn't go to the beach on the weekend because that's where everybody was, so you'd find places off the beaten path where the tourists weren't. For me, the ranch was just my happy place.”
