When I saw this I figured everyone here may get a kick out of it.
Anyone who's ever ridden a motorcycle of any kind knows the affinity dogs have for
chasing after them as if it's their sworn duty to chase em to the other horizon.
But how often do you get to see Fido riding on a bike ? Perhaps it's jealousy, perhaps
it just looks like a bit of doggie fun but for those of us who have had close calls and near
misses with our K9 friends we all have that special prayer: "God, please don't let there be a
pack of em" !
Now a guy in Oregon, Mark Schuette, has found a way to let Fido join in on the biking fun.
The missing link between dog and motorcycle could bridge between our two wheeled
beloveds and our four pawed friends. It's a scooter with a sort of sidecar that Fido
takes his place in to run and propel his master's ride. (and show that pesky Asian
Technology there's still some Yankee Ingenity left in America that's eager to work)
For this board's members, imagine a bike side car design adapting the features of the scooter.
Perhaps a pannel could be fit on the outboard side that folds down to make a floor for Fido
when he isn't the "HT". Thus when Fido plays out you could pedal him back home so he enjoys
a ride. It could be a win win. Perhaps the perfect ride for a guy with too many DUI's.

I'd like to see an emoticon for this platform.
