    Hi all,

    I posted this earlier on the Women & Bicycles facebook page, and someone suggested I reach out here as well (I didn’t previously know this forum existed, so I’m super excited to be part of it now!)

    Does anyone have a trailer (for dogs) for their bike they would be willing to let me borrow? My parents are coming to visit later in April, and are bringing their very sweet golden retriever/great pyrenees mix named Genevieve. We love biking in the city when they come to visit, and this will be their first time bringing her, so we thought we would see how she likes riding in a trailer! She’s about 60-65 pounds. If anyone has one I could borrow, or knows of a place that would let us try it out (just in case she doesn’t like it, would prefer a trial before buying one!) it would be much appreciated! Thank you!

    Genevieve is a rescue who came with the name, but I had forgotten that Madeleine’s dog was Genevieve! :)

    Sorry. This dog has dibs. Penny is stealing the trailer Friday at Coffee Club. Come take a look.

    Cool dog! Mind if I ask of recommendations for a trailer? If I’m looking at buying one, would love to get a recommendation of a good brand. (Can’t make it to Coffee Club this week unfortunately)

    Seems like a very nice trailer, almost a kennel on wheels. Rolls well. Seems like good construction. The hitch is a marvelously simple device that slips on your quick release axle. You can convert it into a stroller (if you have an old dog, this can be useful)

    They are known to SMELL horrible when they arrive – some sort of chemical smell from manufacturing. I left mine outside for a long time so the sun could bake out the smell.

    You cant teach an old dog new tricks. The 2nd time I put my old dog in the trailer, she bit me, letting me know in no uncertain terms what she thought of the idea. Otherwise, I have used it several times to port foster puppies to adoption events. They thought it was grand!
