Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Introducing the Man Stroller I've been trying to find a way to combine two of my passions, bike riding and Yorkies, without looking too much like a sissy. We took a slow, tentative ride to the park, and they were willing, not exactly ecstatic, but willing. I'm thinking I could harness them in for short trips or use a carrier inside the trailer for a longer trip. Or maybe it's just a silly man idea. What do you think?

| I think it's a wonderful idea as long as you have them secured in there. CUTE!

| I think its great... And with some many bike trails up there, it will be great. How are you thinking of harnessing them in? We used to take our yorkies and put them in the child wagon (enclosed) with our daughter... now that she is old enough and wants to ride her self, were not sure how we could take them |

| Great idea! This is what people use here for taking their dogs for a bike ride.

| Let me know if you come up with something that works... our male swears he's a lab and likes to jump out. Thats why it was great having him enclosed... We love to go biking so when the weather cools off here and we can handle it we'll head out and see if there are trails!! |

| I don't think it's a silly idea at all...in fact...we see a lot of people pulling those nylon kid containers (I really don't know what they're called!) behind their bikes but they have their dogs in them. I'll have one for the boys when we get our new bikes. |

That's right, we get them for kids and dogs. Some people have basket kind of carriers that they attach in front of the stearing wheels and other dog baskets that they fasten on the back seat of the bike, they all get attached with hooks to the harness. The one in the pic, sells specially for dogs, big and small, they have hooks on the inside like we see in our regular carriers, to attach to the harness. (for safety)

We have a basket, and it worked great the first year. But this year, Miss Ginger thinks she should try to jump out the whole time...doesn't lead to a very pleasant riding experience for either of us! Alaska Yorkie - your man stroller is pretty darn impressive!

There is a man by us that does his food shopping in the bike trailer. I have a small westbend crate and although I never stopped the man while he was shopping, it looks to me that my crate would fit right in his trailer. Just an idea (btoh my Yorkies fit in the small crate comfortably)
