It's , but for us, we're making it 🚴🐾

Bikejöring is one of the most exciting dog-powered sports, where a dog runs out front and pulls a bike while connected by a bungee line. It combines speed, teamwork, communication, and trust between dog and rider.

All you need to get started is a dog, a bike, a properly fitted harness, a bungee line, a bikejoring antenna, and the right safety gear.

Today we're celebrating the incredible teams who hit the trails together and the dogs who love to run, pull, and explore. Here's to more adventures, more miles, and more time spent doing what we love with our best friends 🐕💨
