Bikes and Dogs

Bikes have always been a major part of my life. From that first ride of freedom as a young boy, to touring across Canada, to racing in marathon mountain bike races…my bikes have always been my outlet.

Living in Kimberley BC, a small town nestled between the Purcell and Rocky Mountains, provides incredible outdoor opportunities – opportunities best spent with my family and our dog Porter. Porter and I have fixed more flat tires together than I care to admit – and being conscious of our environment I have always hated tossing away all those rubber tubes. I started playing around with different ideas on how to use these tubes, and at some point made a leash for Porter. Friends saw the leashes and wanted us to make one for them too. I quickly started to see the benefits and quality of these leashes and collars, and decided to turn our love for dogs, bikes and the Earth into a product that benefits all those areas.

I believe in active healthy lifestyles for dogs, community and sustainable living. We make high quality products that support those beliefs.
