As an adult I had a bike accident. I used to bike with my parents dog. She loved it. I rode my bike with lots of dogs, sometimes even more then one at a time.
Well, I thought biking with my ACD would be great for her. She has sooooooo much energy. So I got a harness and a basket for my chihuahua and me and the ex are off to bike with the dogs. I had done it with her before. She would even try to pull me and go faster. Today though she saw another dog...and cut in front of me on my bike. (I had her leash too long) I actually hit her with my bike and me and the chihuahua went down hard. The ACD took off. The ex parks his bike, checks on me, I tell him find the dog. Not thinking he leaves his bike and takes off after her on foot. So now I have two bikes and a scared chihuahua and I start limping home. He comes back to get me and tells me he looked everywhere for her. Asked some kids and they didn't know anything. Then he found her on the front porch cowering. Poor thing scared herself and ran all the way home.
Both dogs were fine. I had road rash on my hip and elbow.... like a month before my sister's wedding. I told her I wouldn't bike with the dogs again before she walked down the isle.
