But if the dog riders on the bike, can you get a helmet to fit it? :cool:
Good question , what’s everyone using helmet wise I don’t have one I think maybe I should
You can just see the sloping rubber mats over the inner shiny plastic wheel arches so the dog gets a grip jumping on on the move

The lead is only slipped on when I’m bombing down the road

For yourself? Absolutely necessary and only an idiot would take the bike out without one. Get a motorbike helmet with an open face, I’d say - mine came from eBay for £50 or so, and I bought a couple of sizes for others to use too. Look after it and it will look after you. Open face doesn’t get too hot in summer, and doesn’t restrict your vision for lambing, but does make you run a bit slower if you forget to take it off.

Go for one with quick release chin strap too, for when you’re chasing a ewe.

Definitely have some sort of back support. One of my dogs tries to jump on the bike as Iwas setting off and he fell over the back, ruined a 3k dog.

I’ve got C-Dax mat’s on the quads and made one out of cubicle matting to go around the rappa winder frame, it’s a design I’ve taken off some users here.

below is a C-Dax mat, they wash clean easy if get dirty/bloody etc and are comfortable to sit on too.
