During this morning's walk I was suddenly passed at high speed by a canine-powered bike. A guy was using his dog to pull his bicycle, and was giving the dog stagecoach-type commands with whistles and vocalizations. Tweet tweet hayyyaaaah! Tweet tweet hayyyaaaah!
The dog wasn't a big husky or shepherd ... looked like a border/terrier mix. Seemed to be enjoying the job, so I suspect it was mostly border. (Of course a
purebred border collie wouldn't be content with mere pulling. He would rebuild the bike into a pneumatic/magnetic subway pod, then dig a 3-mile-long tunnel from here to downtown, then sell stock in the enterprise and get rich.)
