A dog, the size of a retriever for instance, would often during a charge
to the side exert a force on the biker of some 70 lbs or more. Without
SPRINGER (leash in hand) the "torque" (what makes your bike fall over)
would be:
3 ft x 70 lbs = 210 ft lbs
Using SPRINGER the point of impact when (or if) your dog charges out
is lowered from approximately 3 ft (the top of the handlebars) to approximately
1 ft (the bending point of the coil spring). Hence the torque is reduced
to 1/3:
1 ft x 70 lbs = 70 ft lbs
During the first second of a dog's charge to the side, the coil spring
absorbs the impact, and only transfers approximately 20 lbs of the force,
or less, to the bike, regardless of the dogs' strength. The torque is reduced
to less than 1/10 of what it would have been without SPRINGER:
1 ft x 20 lbs = 20 ft lbs
The lowering of the point of impact, but in particular the flexing of the
coil spring, gives you, the biker, time to react instinctively to re-adjust
your balance, just as you do today (without even thinking about it) if
caught by a gust of wind. Biking with your dog and SPRINGER becomes almost
as easy as biking alone, only much nicer. And because SPRINGER does not
jerk your bike, it does not jerk your dog either, but is actually more
gentle on your dog than if you were jogging or walking with your dog, leash
in hand! This may be one reason why dogs love SPRINGER so much.
Your dog needs to run, it is in its nature. And your dog loves
to run -if you would only give it the opportunity. With SPRINGER you can.
With SPRINGER you don't force your dog to run, but allow
it to run -to its heart's content- by letting your dog set the pace. If
you love your dog, buy it a SPRINGER today!
SPRINGER is recommended by vets, breeders, trainers, official traffic
safety consultants and tens of thousands of dog owners like yourself throughout
14 European countries and is acclaimed as "the best think that has happened
to dogs in 100 years"!
Even if you consider yourself just as average biker, simply start biking
with SPRINGER and your dog. In less than one minute (but probably from
the very first second) you and your dog will feel as if you have been doing
this for years! Bringing your dog along for its daily exercise becomes
so much nicer, healthier and more fun for both of you, than you could ever
imagine, until you try SPRINGER. We wouldn't be surprised if you too ended
up sending us a letter in a few weeks, simply to say: "THANK YOU"!
So, what are you waiting for? If you love your dog and like to
see it fit and healthy, but most of all, happy, buy your SPRINGER
today! It may be hard to believe for some, but there are few things your
dog will love more than simply running alongside you as you ride your bike.
