Yes, you can bring a dog but remember that it is a fairly loud environment for a dog with their good hearing. The dog should also be comfortable sitting on the platform so that it does not jump off at speed etc. Please consider carefully whether the dog needs to come along before you bring it.

Are there rules for the cycling?
Before you set off you will sign an agreement containing our traffic rules. Our staff will also go through these with the entire group before you head off. Along the routes there are also stop signs etc. showing where you must stop and lead the trolley.
Can I stop wherever I want?
Absolutely, remember to lift the trolley off the track so that others can pass if, for example, you want to stop and take a coffee break along the way. Also, remember to respect private land and gardens.
What happens when I meet other cyclists?
Depending on the direction either you or the opposite cyclist lift off the trolley. Our staff will inform you about this beforehand. Remember to lift the frame/bottom of the trolley, not the handles etc.
How do I turn the trolley?
The easiest way is to use our turning platforms, they can be found at select locations along the route. Otherwise you turn the trolley by lifting, one in each end of the frame (not handles/sets etc.). Our staff will show you how it is done before you set off.
