Buddy Rider

It was a relief this morning, to see dew on the grass and feel a refreshing breeze. We've had a really hot summer!
I knew Oakly, would be keen for a bike ride - he never needs to be asked twice. He loves it! Once he sees me wheel the bike out, he starts jumping up and down get in his 'buddy rider'.


Fortunately, Oakly isn't a dog that licks a lot, however as we bike along, he always gives my hand a little lick in appreciation.



We often stop along the way. I'm sure, there's nothing better (for a dog!) than being able to sniff and check things out from ground level.



I bought the 'buddy rider' online, after seeing the enjoyment my Dad and his dog, Bess, had with theirs. 



The 'Buddy Rider' attaches to the bike's seat and is mounted over the centre of the bike. It's designed for dogs up to 13kgs, and will fit almost any modern adult bike. It measures 48cms between the seat post and the handle bars.



These 'dog-seats' are the perfect solution, for biking safely with your dog. You can cover long distances without worrying whether your buddy's getting tired.
Oakly & Boo love sitting in front of us, enjoying the views and smells. We make a point of stopping often, so they can stretch their legs and explore. We also found them useful during summer when the pavement was getting too hot for their paws to be walking on.

Bike Ride With My Best Buddy

Whenever I say the word 'bike' to Oakly he gets all excited. He adores being in the buddy rider on the front of my bike. It gives him a great view, with new smells, plus we often stop so he can stretch his legs and explore.



Monaco was the destination for this ride and we struck it lucky to have the tide in, so we got to see some reflections.


Looking from Monaco towards Richmond, across Waimea Inlet. 
The Honest Lawyer - a great place to stay in your motorhome.

The beach was our first stop and Oakly chased and dug up stones, which is his favourite thing to do.



It was a stunning Nelson spring day, with a cloudless, blue sky and many delicious smells of blossom wafting about.


When evening arrived, it brought with it a lovely warm glow.


And as the sun set over Monaco it began with a golden glow before ending with splashes of pinks and mauves.
