Wicker Cruiser Baskets - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ok. I need some imput. I want to get a cute wicker basket for my cruiser bike so that my yorkie can ride with me. I need suggestions. I have been looking online and the one that i like the best is by midnightpassproducts.com Does anyone have this basket? It looks large in some of the pics so I want to be sure it won't be too cumbersome on my bike. My puppy is 6 mos old and 4.4lbs so he doesn't require a great deal of space. Are there any others out there that are better that you know of from experience? If so, please advise. The weather is beautiful here on the Central Coast of California and it is a true rarity if I leave my baby at home. Thanks for your help!

So I'm getting the feeling that I am waaaaay out on my own in my desire to have a vintage type basket for my pooch on my bike. Hmmmmm....does anyone have any other type basket/carriers that they use when they are bicycling with their precious pup?

I haven't looked at the one you mentioned yet. I do want to get a basket for Sugar so that she can take bike rides with me this summer. It seems like I remember someone who had one on here last summer but that might have been a different forum. I can't remember now. I think the dogs would love to go for bike rides. Let us know which one you get. I'd love to see pics of your baby in a basket.

I just saw a wicker one at Target. Don't have a bike but if I did that would be nice to have.

I bought the large wire basket for my girls. It now holds all three.

OMG!!!! That is the cutest thing I have ever seen...especially with their helmets on. They look so happy and well behaved too. I can only hope that my pup will love it as much! Thanks for sharing!!

I think it might be the same one....I just got an ad from Target on all pet products and it showed the same pic. Here is the link for pics online:

I love the wicker basket. Just like you said it looks vintage. Just might get that one, too. Never seen a basket that I liked until this one.

Love the picture! What cute helmets on your furbabies!

AmeliaBadelia · 04-27-2008, 07:06 AM

Longaberger *had* one. I haven't done anything with them in so long that I don't even know if it's still available. It was really cute, though.

sullysmum · 04-27-2008, 07:27 AM

Thats a great picture.............where do you get the helmets from, never seen them in UK? There were several different types of bike carrier on ebay when i loked last week.

I'm not sure where she got her bike helmets but here is a link that I found online:

http://www.hunterk9.com/site/870877/product/588

Pretty darn cute!

BTW, I did check ebay but I just haven't had good experiences ordering stuff from ebay. I got totally scammed one time buying a camera and since then I've been a littel leary of ebay. They did reimburse me up to $175 or something like that, I can't remember exactly.
Thank you so much for the tip and maybe this link will send puppy helmets to the UK. Hope so!

sullysmum · 04-27-2008, 08:47 AM

Thanks for the link

................i wonder if the bike basket with the helmet yorkies was a bought one or wether it was adapted from something else as i have a friend in usa who was looking for one like that.
