Question Bike Riding With Your Yorkie?

Do any of you guys go bike riding with your furbaby? Not like running along side the bike, but in a basket? The hubby and I are really looking into getting a couple of bikes. We love the outdoors and would love to lose a few pounds. I see many people in my area riding with small dogs in baskets on the front of their bikes. I was wondering...do any of you YT'ers ride with your Yorkie? I would love to do this if it is safe.

So questions...would this be ok? Not on mountain trails or anything like that, just flat pavement or trails at local parks and such. Nothing too hilly or bumpy. We have a lot of nice, easy, scenic trails for bikes in my area. What safety information do I need to know beforehand?

If so, anyone recommend a good basket?

I know I need a helmet, but does Katie Scarlett need one too? Or any type of protection? I am going to make sure I am confident with the bike on my own before putting her up there with me. I also saw those little cart things you can pull behind your bike, but not sure if that would be an option for us.

Any help? Thanks guys!
