| That's pretty neat. Any dog would love to ride in that, I would think. Are you planning on taking Lexi for a spin Gina? I always loved riding a bike but now living up in a friggin mountain going down is easy but how do I get back up? |

| carol, me, lexi and my boyfriend either ride bikes every night or go for walks.. i have a wire basket i attached to my bike and i padded it so its comfy for her.. she just loves it.. as soon as she sees me taking the bike out, she looks up at the basket , she knows shes coming.. she just sits there and her hair blows in the wind. its so funny.. everyone comments. awww look at the doggy in the basket.. i have to take a picture.. i do need a bigger basket though, shes outgrowing that one..

Good for you Gina, having fun and keeping in shape. Someone I use to work with did the same thing with his Molly. She loved riding in her basket. I would like to see a saftey harness on the one you posted. Much like a car seat harness so they can't just jump out. | |

| I don't think mine would care for it. They could fall off of that really easy. I would look for a basket to go on the handle bars and put a nice little silkie blanket in it for your baby. That think scares me.

| I think I would have concerns about that one. What if you hit a bump and the dog slid off the seat? I know they are attached with a strap but they would be dangling there and the fear of trying to help them back on while riding would cause me to wreck harming us both. I am more into pulling the cart behind me. I was looking into that idea this morning.

| I don't think it looks very safe either... I have a DoggyRide bike trailer, but a basket would be my second choice.

| I agree, it doesn't look too safe! What if they somehow fall off, it could really take your concentration off the bike and hurt both of you. I love the basket carriers and have thought of getting one for Romeo

| I have an over-the-handlebars wire basket I bought at Walmart for like $10. I put a blanket on the bottom so it's comfy and use a caribiner to clip Tucker in from his harness. He loves it although he does have a hard time when we see other dogs on our rides.
