    I wonder how long it took to train him to ride the bike!

    Oh my! That is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. How in the world did they train the dog to do that? I can't imagine that a dog would even want to be up on a bike like that. My dog would be afraid of the bike.

    That's interesting. As a novelty. My dogs are not afraid of bikes but I have never seen them wanting to get on one. The only bike they like is the motorbike. They love it when I go riding with them sitting in front of me with their paws on the handle bars.

    I had watched several videos of a dog riding a bike and it can always make me smile. ;)
    It was really nice to watch how dogs can do such trick and how they seem to enjoy it.

    Haha! That’s funny. But I bet it strains the dog’s feet. I also watched this video publicly displayed on Facebook where the dog look after his master’s bike who’s gone for minutes then ride at the back seat when they’re about to depart. The dog knows how to back ride but to pedal like that, they would definitely run from the bike at the sight of it soon enough.

    Haha - I would be in awe if I had a dog and he could do that! I don't think I have the patience to train the dog though...

    Oh my word! Really? Lol - wouldn't that be something to watch. Aren't you afraid that your dog might jump off? As a kid, I put my cat in the basket on my bicycle and it kept jumping off (I rode around the plot of the house - never outside on the road). My neighbour did the same with her puppy and the same thing happened.

    No, the dogs in the town where I used to live think that riding motorbikes is the thing to do. The only problem I have is with Dark Lady, my Dobermann. She's so big that when she gets on the front, I can hardly see the road.

    Norman is so cute and courageous. But I worry about one thing: he doesn't know how to brake. If his owner wasn't able to catch him, he would get hurt :(
    Fortunately my Homer will never ride a bike, they're too big for him:p
