Bike riding advice for me and my pupp

I bought a bike today and I've been looking at different dog leashes that attach to a bicycle. I've attached a link to the one that I think is the best but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with things such as this...

I rode my bike around the backyard tonight just to get him used to the idea and while he was scared of the bike at first, he got used to it in no time and was heeling when I asked him to.

Thanks.

that looks like a good tool, I would be so afraid to try it, mine I think would pull me over Shocked

I think if you get the hang of it, it would be good excercise

I have seen people riding with their dogs beside them, but I have heard it is extremely difficult. The dog can pull you over or on a bike you need to jerk over quickly then it injures the dog.
I always thought it was a really good idea! and I even tried it a few times, but I started to get to scared of all the what ifs and I stopped doing it.
