As Farkas is getting more confident and experienced as a trail dog, we are increasing our radius in the Swiss and Italian Alps for full-day bike trips.

He seems just to have the right confidence and control to know where to go and how fast to pace it, both from a safety as well as from an endurance perspective, so most of the time he can happily canter in front of the bike and act as the pace setter. And we got the commands mostly right so he know when to stay behind the bikes in more treacherous sections of the trail.

Add to this a drone in follow-me mode, an empty landscape just after snowmelt (or in some cases, still during snow melt) before the cable car season opens, and a contraption to tie to the bike to add further control, and we have a set of action sequences that work much better than just the GoPro mount at the bike itself.
