Biker Boy

Jack Russells need plenty of exercise to be healthy and keep their minds stimulated (most dogs are happier and better behaved with exercise, of course), so Chico and I have been doing some biking. He's gotten really good at running beside me. It's interesting that he barks at cyclists, but has no issues running besides my bike. This form of exercise was actually a suggestion from a random biker in my neighborhood that stopped to ask about Chico because he was barking at her and she had a Jack R. too. Thanks for the idea!
 An important thing to note is that he isn't joining me for my bike ride, but rather I am biking him for a walk. That is, the whole bike ride (route, pace, etc.) is to get him exercise. We typically do a 1.25 mile loop, but he went on a 3-mile run with Mary so I think he could do more.
