With more than a little help from his owner, Maggie Scorer, a golden retriever called Oscar will next month embark on a 5,000-mile cycle trip around Britain.
Comfortably seated in a Dutch-designed DoggieRide trailer attached to the back of Maggie’s bike, the duo will be unsupported during the trip, although they will benefit from Cycle Breakdown cover from the ETA.
Dutch Dog Design and its DoggyRide brand have over the last decade developed all manner of ‘biking-with-your-dog’ products including trailers, strollers, and baskets.
Maggie will start in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, cycling anti-clockwise around the coast of Great Britain. She is hoping to be back in Aldeburgh by the end of August. Based on 30 miles a day, the whole trip will takefive months.
The goal is to raise £25,000, in aid of the charities Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research and SANDS.

ETA cycle insurance
For 25 years, the ETA has been providing straightforward, affordable bicycle insurance. Whether you use your bike to commute, shop, race or amble in the park, ETA Cycle Insurance has you covered.
Many cycle insurers offer very limited cover, charging extra for features we believe should come as standard – such as third party cover, personal accident or extension of your cover to family and friends. ETA Cycle Insurance provides one fully-comprehensive package for total peace of mind, whatever your cycling needs.
Every time you buy a policy from us, you support the work of the ETA Trust, our charity campaigning for a cleaner, safer transport future.
