Andy Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Has anyone clocked how fast sibes can run ?? I took Darwin out for a run on my bike. I have the WalkyDog attatchment for safe running. The area is a 40mph driving limit, wide roads. However I keep Darwin on the path beside the road. It's a good wide path with nice 5ft grass verges on either side of the path. I'm on the path and Darwin is on the grass beside me. Anyhoo. . .after happily towing me up an incline we crested the top and came to the other side and Darwin started powering down the descent on the other side. WOW!! I don't have a speedo on my bike but we wuz seriously shifting ! Cars were passing us on the road but not very fast if you get my drift. I suspect we were doing between 20 & 25 MPH I know he was pulling me downhill but gosh that felt fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikaani&Aiyana Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Fast!! lol I don't know but would be interested to find out! Sounds like you had great fun! I clocked my horse doing about 30mph the other week & she still had alot left in her. Its amazing at how fast some animals can run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwin is wary of the bike until we start moving and then whoosh he 's off. It's great. I stop him after every couple of minutes, to check the harness and see if he's getting tired. Dribble him some water. It's great to give him a good work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Ok so I just had a DUHHHHHH !!! moment There I am thinking I'm soooooo clever using the GPS on my fone. . .when. . . I've got a frikken GPS in the car, y'know the type you put in a holder suctioned to the windscreen, It charges up so it doesn't need to be plugged into the power socket. I'll just take that out with me. . . Lol. . .sometimes the obvious escapes me. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect we were doing between 20 & 25 MPH I know he was pulling me downhill but gosh that felt fast. a good healthy sibe can easily run at 20mph, and push to nearly 30mph i know micha does over 25mph because i have been clocked on my mountain bike doing 25, and micha can pull away from me at top speed i like using the sat nav idea, i will have to try that one and see how well she does. a sibe apparently wont reach full speed until it is at least 2 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhhmmmmm. . . why not just buy a cycle computer for your bike, Tesco sell them for about a fiver at the moment Logan runs at a trot at about 12-15 mph. full tilt and he's hitting close to 20mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple solutions are out there staring me in the face. . .lol Thanx Adam. I'm on the night shift tonite, finish work at 5am I'll pop into Tescos on the way home and see if they got any.
