| Bike Basket I have been researching bike baskets for Ruby so she can join me on bike rides. I like taking her everywhere I go. Some people think I am crazy. For those of you who may have one, is there one brand or kind that is the best for Yorkies? What do you think about the trailers that you pull behind the bike? Are they better than baskets? |

| I want to do that too. I'm considering the trailer type with the full enclosure for safety. I bought a stroller for walking ... Peek a Boo is older and has bad days where he can't walk as well so I pop him in the stroller and he just loves it! We stop for potty breaks and he waits to get put back in the stroller. I have begun training my other 2 Yorkies to ride in it, just in case they need to ride one day too. I also carry a hang in front back pack that Peek gets into ... he likes that too. He just wants to be with me and to be out and about, whether he feels good or not. It all started one day my maltese walked about 2-3 blocks with us from home and stopped, refusing to go on. I checked him out and found a huge bruise on his ribcage, so I had to carry him home. He was too painful to be picked up, so I removed my jacket and used it like a hammock or sling. It was less painful for him and we went directly to the Vet after we got home. Turned out someone had really kicked him hard. Shoe print was evident. Thats when I purchased the front backpack carrier. I'll let you know if I find any good bike trailers.

| I purchased a little snoozer bike basket from petco. On a scale one to 10 I would give it a 7.5. Ranger hated it at first but now he is a little used to it. My bike is a cruiser so the basket doesn't fit right either. I like it because it has a rain/sun cover. It also has a harness and is pretty big without being gaudy. I wouldn't recommend getting a rear basket because you cannot see what they are doing. You never know what they are going to do because sometimes they act on impulse.
