I used to take my dog running alongside my bike, it was pretty nice. It was just a cheap bike I got at walmart though and the handlebars weren't that stable.

I'd like to get another bike but I have two issues:
1. I am not certain how much money I should drop on a bike that I won't use all that much--just for short rides for enjoyment/exercise, not transportation anywhere.

2. I need to take two dogs with me now. Previously I only took one dog and just held her leash in my hand. I was curious about if anyone bikes with two and if it is worth trying one of those "springer" contraptions on both sides of the bike.
