Biking Across Country with My Dog

[@mikekilburn3552]

Loved your pup....I'm getting ready myself. Maine to fla and back

[@Gardenscape-NCal10A]

Mans best friend - no doubt! Thank you for sharing your journey. What a lucky boy.

[@lynnharrington340]

That's really cool brother cuz that's what I'm doing with my dog now biking across country

[@nickpatten5263]

Beautiful video. I lost my boy last year aged 12 and this reminded me of our road trips in my campervan. Thank you for sharing your adventure.

[@proudchristian77]

Keep a eye out for hot roads , that can hurt their paws ! 🐾 looks extra fun ! 🚲

[@erics4086]

Crying, tears rolling down my face. I wish I were free like that. It's been so hard lately and to remember my buddy Rudy in his prime when this was filmed. I lost him several months ago. My folks split up and my dad doesn't talk to me anymore. I need time in the mountains I need time with my memories of Rudy and a simpler time.

[@tldalton1622]

Sorry it's so hard. I will keep you in my thoughts. When I lost my last pup, I felt adrift. Finally a friend suggested I get another pup. Though I felt angry, it was the best decision. A man needs a dog, and though the new one won't replace the old, there's just a spot in your heart and soul that needs that unwavering love/loyalty that only a dog can bring. Things will get better. The memories of Rudy should be a positive. That dog loved you. Remember that.

[@skateandgeekout]

Eric S Stay strong man, it doesn't rain everyday.

[@karamarie6781]

So sorry for your loss. Get out there on your bike and make some new adventures! Adopt a stray / homeless dog along the way, for life!

[@VitaInDC]

I stumbled across this video, it was wonderful. Then I see two years ago that your dog moved on to his spiritual journey. It's so sad they don't last forever with us here, but at least the two of you met up to love and have adventures that few of us so lucky to have. For all we know, they may come back to us again in this lifetime or another like angels sent teach and love us. I wish you well and hope that the dark chapter of losing him has opened to a new and bright chapter in your journey.

[@robertg8129]

Very inspiring video for me! How are you doing now? Rudy had one bad day, the day he had to leave you. I have lost five pups, it never gets easier and for me that is a good thing.

[@geraldineross5168]

Precious puppy!

[@jeffkunkle1558]

Living the Dream Brother! Thanks for the Ride.

[@RenoLaringo]

This cries FREEDOM from all the pores of the skin !!! It's very touching. We really need moments like these in our lives !

[@NigelMarston]

Doggo at 20mph and then chilling in the trailer had me both laughing and crying with that amazing track playing (I used to watch "Cars" a lot when my children were small). I felt the freedom of the road calling to me. It was an inspired choice of music and wonderful footage of doggo. One year ago I started cycling again "properly" - as in daily. I'm up to 4000 miles so far this year and whole reason is so that I am fit enough to try something like you have here. I have a trailer too - now I just need to find a dog who will join me. My search begins at the local shelters.

[@kathyhamer6118]

From an old time hippie, you brought tears to my eyes, thanks for a great video.

[@flpirate45]

Love your Beautiful Dog.

I just bought a bike and I can't afford a trailer yet...I saw this video and all I can say is wow. Thank you and congrats on going cross country with your pal...

[@beccacloud3892]

We biked California with our two dogs back in the summer of 2012. I don't think a lot of people realize just how fulfilling bike riding with a dog can be, not only for you, but for the dog! :)

[@salty7056]

Thanks for sharing your trip experiences with Kaibab. Brought back some great memories with our dogs on trips over the years. Nice shots!

[@Dokan2013]

Que grandes !!!! Me ha encantado vuestro video. Txapeldunak.

[@stephenhancox7987]

So much respect for you

[@maris6843]

I saw this video many years ago when I first started watching videos on KZbin, and I never forgot it as I've always loved biking and dogs. I just stumbled across it today as I just purchased a dog trailer for my Skye. We'll be going back home to Rhode Island in November, and while I will be driving up there, there will definitely be plenty of biking together along the way. It was wonderful to see this video again today after all these years.

[@elisedanica]

This is beautiful. Thanks for the great video!

[@radnad93]

Great video!! You have a great companion!! Thanks for sharing!

Complete and total awesomeness! ✌🏼👍🏼🐶

[@secretdaisy6484]

I'm going coast to coast with Buddy my Springer Spaniel hopefully next summer. This was so inspiring. Kaibab is beautiful. 👍☮️🌞🚵🐶🌟🌈🌟🌈

[@sawyerramos3113]

Put a big smile on my face. That dog looks freer then most of us, chained to a 9-5, mortgage, etc

[@gisellearndell944]

What great video - we try to cycle with our dogs most days, but would just love to go off on an extended adventure like this!! Bravo my friend-:-) you have inspired us to get a doggy trailer almost immediately

[@darrellbeer99]

Great video. I cycle with my red healer on a BOB trailer. We have about 3500 miles on us.

[@briantrend1263]

dam! im back an this is still my favourite doggie touring video thanks guys regards from the UK

[@firehorse66elaine]

Fantastic! Love it! keep Safe and happy travels

[@W0wVibes-25]

Looks like a wonderful adventure.

[@stephencunliffe3879]

Excellent !! Well done .

[@mikekilburn3552]

So glad I found this...I miss the west

[@materia7]

this is really wonderful - thanks for sharing!

[@hurtighansen1shorts]

Sweet. Careful with paws, heat, and running fast. But she loves it. In dog park, other dog says she is lying. No dogs that lucky. But she is.

[@alexpierre6619]

This guy is just freaken too cool, what the? What, no motor omg, hero status here people, "HERO STATUS"! A beast, and not the baf kind.

[@samhainpirate]

Ah Mate such an awesome and inspiring video 12 years later. Thank you, this has really lifted my spirits.

[@GoneToTheeDogs]

That is one lucky dog. Awesome video!

[@TheBeemerfan]

awesome man! biking this long of a trip require a lots of pacience ,I can imagen. I rode my motorcycle from chile to vancouver canada last year. I thought that it was a big deal until I saw bicycle riders in the patagonia, south and central america. Rider were from europe, australia americans riding from alaska to Usuashia argentina,some with their kids in little trailers like your. I have a lot respect for you and all long distance riders. EXcellent!!

[@user93634]

Greatest adventure I have ever seen.

[@karamarie6781]

Excellent!!! You are awesome!

[@waterbender19]

I'm obsessed with this idea, biking across the country with your dog either riding or running! I was just wondering what kind of equipment is used. For the trailer I'm guessing a dog trailer and I think he put some of his stuff in there as well but I was wondering, how did he attach his dog? At times it seems like his dogs in front of him and other times his dog is beside him, maybe he used a walkydog or bikemydog attachment with a stretchy leash so it could extend? Or maybe somehow his leash was retractable?

[@kixb4632]

You're the man, Dan!

[@waterbender19]

after 4 years this is still my favorite video on the internwt

[@barbaramcdonald2966]

This is wonderful I wish you would had slowed down with your filming .This makes me wish I still had my dog what a friend I miss her my dog so must .your filming was great but could have been sooo much better if this was slowed down so we could get acquainted with you and your dog. . But it was still great I could see you loved your dog Hope you make another one . God bless you both .❣️☮️

[@2yung4u]

Michael Todd really? I am in tampa fl!!! I soooo want to do this. Will u document? I would love to follow the jeurney!! Be save!

Loved this video. Made it even better that the song is Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts. :)

[@billy653]

Got this recommended. Cool video

[@monkeypig8379]

This is awesome!

[@sundogathletics4403]

EPIC! I've been thinking about cross country with my 2 dogs. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration! Any other suggestions would be awesome. My younger 4 yr. old yellow Lab is a rocket ship and the older dog Luna fit, but not much of a runner any more. It would have to happen in the next year or two. Dreams happen; right? Ride on & if you're ever in Aspen, look us up at Sun Dog Athletics!

[@britneyferndx763]

@Tiberius I'mserious i wonder too

[@misternobody4791]

ROLL ON!!!🤠

[@SailingCorina]

I am about to do a similar bikepacking trip with my Border Collie pulling a dog trailer. I found your video looking for others who have done something like this before me. Only found a couple videos! I am going to be posting weekly videos of my adventures. Thanks for the inspiration that it can be done!

[@CROWOLF87]

Thats what it's Like Best Friend Dog

[@ronmagaw8175]

Rite on.. great vid what's is your trailer brand leaving from so Cali to Georgia in July...thx

[@colombianflag717]

Very cool

[@alexhoffmann5307]

Great stuff, anyone who doesn't like dogs is a bum😀

[@herotheplottmix6690]

Sooo many questions!!! I wanna do Midwest to San Jose. Roads? Camping? Gear? What to avoid? What you learned?

[@jonathantaff3007]

well done my friend!!!!

[@thewoods8372]

im going to be biking across country with my doggy next spring. what kind of bike do you suggest would be best? also ive been looking for a pet trailer for my doggy but he weighs 100 lbs i cant seem to find a big enough one :(

[@DrgnMage2536]

Great video! I want to try this with my own dog, although not cross country. I have a slew of questions. What kind of trailer did you use and does you dog normally just jump out of the trailer to start running along side it? How is you dog tethered to bike? How did you train your dog not to run on the left side, thus possibly getting hit by a vehicle?

[@godmathias]

This is awesome! How did you keep enough food around for the dog? How did he/she handle the trip? Would love to take my dog with me but I think she would get way too restless lol.

[@sureshots98]

I wonder more how he carried enough water, my dog can't get enough water on a long trip.

[@lilwillls8752]

I think they stopped every night and got a little food and water for the next day

[@erickmiranda2070]

Really cool!

[@MrPathryk]

Very nice vid! Congratulations for this travel :) What was your daily distance about? How much from this daily distance did your dog run? greetings!

[@wordsofwisdom18]

Excuse my language,but this is f-ing awesome

[@lene2065]

This is what i was thinking about to do!:D Can you tell me how much weight you pulled? With the carrier, your dog and equipment? My dog is about the same size but i'm not sure if i'm strong enough to pull this all day long...

[@lene2065]

Btw you and your dog did great! Looks like you spent a wonderful time in nature together😊

[@nikoshaikalis6078]

Perfect!

[@l.pavelic323]

[@dogsandbikes]

This is so cool! It's something I hope to do with one of my dogs someday as well! Your dogs looks like it was suited very well to that lifestyle. Its speed is crazy! Do you have a blog or photo account of it on flickr?

[@23ksuwes]

HELL YA!!!! i wanna take my vizsla XC biking too....would be the best bonding experience with her!!!

[@DustinGavin1]

How many miles a day would the dog run? I bike with mine most days but only around 4-5 miles around town.

[@briantrend1263]

I bought a doggie hut trailer on ebay in the UK for £72 new delivered to the front door. and Charlie cowboy pants a cross border collie x springer spaniel doesn't like it so he jumpos out and runs all day. so ive resorted to treats to lure him in . the base is only material so im going to put light plastic sheet down and foam bed above. it will help Charlie settle down. we have a problem here in Devon England the old historical roads are like 500 years old no pavements and the problem is the hedges are right up against a single road up steep hills so you will hold up the traffic and the gold bus and pretty soon the yuppies patience will run out and they may give u the finger. once we safely reach Plymouth we can ride the ferry to France an then the velio pad all the way down the west coast of france to Spain tour around there then catch the ferry back to "old blighty "(UK) from the Spanish port of santander

[@ViolinfanaticOriginal]

[@Manuelruiz90]

Hey man! well I really love that you pulled this awesome thing trough with your furry little friend. I'm actually looking forward to doing a long trip with my Pitbull which includes a lot of unpaved roads. I'm preatty concerned about the trailer I should use for my dog. What would you recommend? Thanx man! Any more advice you have would be great

[@britneyferndx763]

if ur going on hills with narrow paths you might not want to take a trailer for your dog as it will be hard to manuever but there is also large baskets

[@herotheplottmix6690]

11 years ago!! And this answers one question...single lanes through mountains. ouch. Hopefully I can't answer this question myself...head south? Single lanes no shoulder is my worst fear.b

[@ARCTERYXSWEATSHOP]

Epic

[@TripperOverland]

Show... Topp

[@aroundoz]

That was great. 90 percent dog; 10 percent humans. I would love to take my dog with me but being mostly Great Pyrenees, he is too lazy. Might be good for the occasional downhill sprint but that would be it.

[@weedseeds5211]

How come your dogs feet dont get burned from the concrete? If I bike with my dog on concrete his paws get raw after a while.

[@KitsuneNeko]

He might be putting musher's miracle or cow udder cream on the pads to prevent cracking and soreness from running. Or just not letting him run too long. :x Just my thought on that. Both products I mentioned are good for tender paws.

[@weedseeds5211]

Thankyou KitsuneNeko

[@porsupuesto6651]

Me ha encantado el vídeo. Me parece que el perro te ha servido para tirar de la bici en las subidas y para ganarte la simpatía de las féminas (es broma). Enhorabuena por vivir la libertad y hacer feliz a un perro.

[@TheRockybar]

that dog must be fit af by now

[@fmc6338]

cool

[@harveyge1]

For this one I overlooked the idiotic music and clicked Like. How could I not, with such a great team as this? Looks like a really nice guy and of course the dog steals the entire show. I love my dog to pieces and he loves me, and I can't wait to take him on the road. Thanks much and good luck in ypur travels!

[@briantrend1263]

im into metal and rock but this music is ok it suits the countryside and I wish my dog Charlie cowboy pants behaved like this dog does. Charlie is a wild nutter!

[@Kasonas]

Nothing wrong with the music for this video. You're too cool for school, son.

[@skateandgeekout]

greg harvey Idiotic music? These are classic road trip songs. I think Forrest Gump runs across the country to the second song.

[@jonking4246]

Dose your dog have dog boots

[@lordvalentine471]

Approximately 23 months to retirement and my dog pickles The Fierce and I will do exactly the same thing

[@24nikita]

I don`t like seeing Kaibab running along side you on dangerous roads and corners even if he is on the inside. A high risk of accidents, you`ve been very lucky up to now, hope your luck lasts out. Seeing him drinking out of the lake tells me he risks dehydration as I never saw you giving him a drink of water during the whole journey.

[@andersonbelland3971]

Wow 2009 nice job tho
