A Famous Bike Riding Golden Retriever

This dog is called Li-Li, and he is famous for guarding his owner's bicycle and then climbing on the back for a ride.



Notice how he barks when he's ready to go! I was looking for videos of bigger dogs balancing on bicycles, and found this. It was awesome.

I also found a blog from 2011 which is mainly just photos, a guy rode across Australia with his faithful Kelpie on the back of his bike and raised $26,000 for the Cancer Council and the MS Society.


It's worth having a look if you want to get an idea of what the Australian outback looks like. Coffee is awesome too. Their website is called Carrot and Coffee. I would love to do a trip like that with a dog, but  my dogs are 30kg each which is a lot of weight to be propelling with my weak little legs. I think I need to borrow a smaller, hardier dog for the trip.

I could see Bender being up for a road trip like that, but I think Barbie, as a self-respecting greyhound, would rather have her cozy bed at home :)

haha I think Bender might prefer his cosy bed as well!
That is one clever GR:) Great how it climbed onto the little parcel carrier on the bike! I used to take my childhood dog for a bike ride every Saturday morning in the basket on the handlebars. She would sit out by my bike waiting patiently for me and then beg before I lifted her in. She would have loved a bike ride around Australia:)

Aw that is so sweet :) I wish i had a shrink/grow ray so I could make the dogs smaller when I wanted to take them on a ride
He probably taught himself how to climb the bike and he gets a better view of the world around him.
Li-Li the golden retriever doing the work of a bicycle lock.
Bike ride or car ride, dogs are in for it anytime and any where. This look like a miniature golden retriever any way.
Dogs are lovely, aren't they? Particularly the working breeds.
The bully pitbull breed was subtly influenced by many other breeds such as the American Bulldog.
It sure seems to be a good road trip and I have also been to the same road tour in my life but it was not that fun like yours. But still it is good to explore new things and places.
