Another caveat for dog owners:

PLEASE do NOT ride your bike with your dog running on a leash, particularly in the summer,
but really -- at any time of the year.
I know of a dalmation who collapsed and died while doing this.
I hear owners say that they go slowly,
but i will tell you that it isn't slow enough for any length of time.

In addition that it is potentionally bad for your dog, it is just plain dangerous!
And please never, never, never leave your dog in a car when it is hot.
A car heats up very quickly and your pet can die.
Animals need our help and protection.
They depend on us to keep them safe.
