  • Update: RIP - March 17, 2017 - Thanks for 14 wonderful years. Ollie was my best friend and cycling buddy. He'll be sorely missed.
    Ollie is a 12 year old mutt! He weighs 45 lbs and we've had him since he was a puppy (we got him from the ASPCA shelter in Long Beach). Found this used custom built cargo bike on Craigslist and thought it would be awesome if I could teach Ollie to ride on it. This video is about how I trained him and some videos of our rides.

    You and Ollie’s Mom are great dog owners. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing you sweet dog enjoying life. When I see people out walking or jogging w/o a dog I can’t imagine why. 🤔 good job with the cargo bike!

      you probably dont give a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the latest movies and series on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend recently =)

    What an amazing thing to do for Ollie. I really enjoyed this footage. Kinda felt like I was sitting right there enjoying the scenery with Ollie.

    Thanks for showing your progress with Allie, it's helpful to us considering having to train our dogs to ride a trailer or cargo bike watching you two.

    hey Ollie’s mom and dad ;) just wanted to say a thank you as this made my day. Not only Ollie riding backwards, the blooper reel and all things dog en bike, also the humour throughout, the bright blue skies and beautifully idyllic life over there.
    I’m both ashamed and proud to admit that I ride that path down venice beach on the video bikes at the gym in Glasgow 😂 where we have had rain sleet and snow for about 4 weeks now 😭
    Anyways, I’ve been looking for a good way to get my dog on the bike travels for summer and never considered a cargo bike... its a great idea and cheers to mom with the tray idea so Ollie can be chillin like a villain 😉🐶
    Take it easy and enjoy your beautiful blessed life over there.
    Bear & Hank 🐻🐶

    I saw the same thing in Amsterdam: a lady gave her big dog a ride in her bakfiets (dutch for cargo bike). Instead of a platform only, it was a bin, so the big Benner Sennen dog (kind of Saint Bernard, but in black ad white) couldn't jump out. It was great to watch. The dog loved it to anywhere with his owner.

    RIP Ollie, luv yu. I do the same using a tandem mobility scooter with a platform in place of the rear seat. My dog luvs it and barks with joy all along despite his arthritis and knee deformaty.

    I'm thinking of training my 1 year dog to ride on my bike trailer with me. I still have worries if she will ever accept riding on a bike trailer but this looks so promising! If 12 year old dog can do it so should my dog. Just a little patience is required. Great video! even showing some mishaps is very helpful.

    Was a bit worried until you put the sides on, but when you got those sides on it looks great. Ollie surely likes cruising along by the beach. I'd love one for my newf! I think I'd need a very big basket!!! :D

  • @femfromholland
    @femfromholland 8 років тому

    Well done. It looks kind of a Babboe bike, you see them a lot in Holland. It's a cargo bike, Dutchies use it a lot to transport their kids but dogs too and they can't jump out like Ollie did. There is also a Babboe dog-bike. But this works too and you did it yourself. Cuddles to Oliie he looks very happy.

I have no car , and for the long city ways and streets , the dog will be komfortabel and save. 😁Sorry, my english is not good in writing.,. greetings from Berlin 🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️

    That looks like one happy dog! Have you ever considered a back harness instead of the throat collar? They are a lot better for dogs and in your case it may be better for riding on the bike.

    Nice design , I would add a little some thing , cut out on one side only a little opening for him to get in easier and second mount a leash holder at the front of his bed so as for him to see that He is leashed in , this will stop him from wanting to jump out, try to train him into asking him if he wants to run , after a little bit the dog will catch on and will give you a sing that He wishes to walk , you just need to listen closely

    • @Howardv1
      @Howardv1  9 років тому

      quedecree Thanks! It takes a bit to get used to riding a long cargo bike, but it's not hard. The hardest part is that the bike weighs about 80 lbs and Ollie is 45 lbs. So it's a bit tough going uphill. I consider it good exercise. And it's fun!

    • @fuerimmerallein
      @fuerimmerallein 9 років тому

      Howardv why did ollie jumpf off the bike, while riding on that bike strip? that is dangerous! he could get hit by another cyclist. tell him to stop doing that! maybe add some side doors, so he can't just jump off for no friggn reason! lmao..
      ohh and as far as i know, the us is quiet a liberal place when it comes to electric bicycle-motors. adding one could make the uphills easier.
