| Bike riding??? Hi! Was wondering if anyone has taken their yorkie bike riding, I am consider a front pack or a back pack and was wondering if anyone had any input? Thanks fairly new to being active on YT and still trying to figure out where to post stuff, so you might see this question a couple times! Mindy |

| I for one would never take my yorkie on a bike. I would be afraid of an accident. If something were to happen I would just want it to happen to me and not to my dog. |

| I do take my girls with me bike riding...and they absolutely LOVE it! I've NEVER had an accident and only ride on paved bike trails!! Last summer we used a backpack...but I also made sure to put their harness on and attach the leash/harness to the top of the backpack...just to ensure they didn't jump out for any reason and get hurt!! My sister got a basket for the front of her bike....and her girls just LOVE it!! She does use their harness and secure them! I'm going to do that this summer!! Happy trails!! Oh yah...Welcome to YT!

| OMG! I love it! I was envisioning more of a front pack, but I think I am going to have to go with a basket....looks more comfy. I love the little helmet! Where did you get it? I love YT... I love my little dog so much, I swear some people think I am crazy! I never would have been able to ask my question on facebook! Thank you! |

| I take Remy bike riding. We have a front basket (I also use it as a car seat) and we go on bike paths. She loves it. Be sure you have them attached with a harness. Enjoy!!!!!!

| Lol, Jackson runs beside me on the bike. That's what I thought you meant when I read the original thread title. Unfortunately, I don't have a bike of my own so I can only do it when I visit my dads house. But we ride up and down the street and he happily runs beside me. I like to rollerblade with him better.

| This is on Vandenberg AFB. (my hubby is retired AF) We love biking along the coast. It's quiet and no traffic. My hubby office was right beside where I was in that second picture. We park the bikes there and take them for long walks. So peaceful and beautiful.
