Part of the problem is keeping up with the exercise he needs.
I SOOOOO understand this - and to make matters worse, we spend 5 months in a condo, which means dogs-on-leashes.
Last fall, I bought an "old lady 3-wheeled bicycle" - Augie trots (or gallops) alongside the front wheel. I use the command "trot" instead of "heel" because heel puts him too close to the rear wheels. Anyway - he loves it; and although I can ride a 2-wheeled bike, the 3-wheels is a ton more stable in case he pulls sideways; and I only need one hand to steer it no matter what speed we are going.
My bike is a Schwinn "Meridian" - a heavy beast with one speed, but it's solid as a rock and it's not like I'm riding it for miles....
