i use a Burley Trailer to carry my Standard poodle , took a little training for me and her but now she loves going for rides even to work. i even tow it to our favorite Mtb spots and then drop it at trails head so she can run.

Is nobody going to comment on Ted’s saucy off-the-shoulder/I-love-Richard-Simmons look?

Agreed! With my former seven-mile dog/bike commute (the one in the photo above), there were a couple of safe stretches through parks where I would let him down to run off leash. It's a good thing if you arrive to your workplace with a worn-out dog who wants to rest. So, if possible, give the dog some exercise on the way to work -- even if the only safe way to do it is to stop for a while at a dog park. My current dog commute is on foot. I would need the mega-trailer, multi-dog scenario -- and probably an e-bike -- to bring these dogs in by bike. And the dogs wouldn't be nearly as restful on arrival.

Alternatively, if you have a high energy dog like myself who would love nothing better than to run for miles and miles with you, making them ride in a trailer would make them very sad!

My boxer mix loves to run beside the bike on a loose leash. I think that he is glad that I’ve finally found a way to keep up with him!

I was hoping that our 2 Malamutes could bed down under my desk (didn’t get approval). Traveling down the path my set up would look opposite of the above!
I like the idea of being able to take the little dog with me on a trip. Having a basket that can go on the bike & then detach easily for a train or ferry ride would be great.
