I have been biking with Lola since she was a puppy, she seems to like it and is not afraid and at times gets bored and curls up in the basket and goes to sleep. But we often ride for two hours or longer so I can see why she gets bored. I know she would prefer to be on the ground sniffing everything but LOL I think she realizes it beats being left at home. My basket is similar to the one in the photo but I believe mine is deeper, it also does not come with a sun shade but I would only ride with the cage on anyway. There have been a few times when I have come close to falling or the bike tips over a little so I feel she is safer when the cage is on. I have found that she does better when I ride on pavement, I have taken her on some packed gravel and it's surprising how bumpy that is for her, I don't like her to bounce up in the air that is another reason I like my basket better than the one in the photo, I believe my cage is taller. I also used to bike with my last yorkie, he was a big time barker and would bark at just about everything he saw especially other dogs and wildlife so he was always on high alert, he was high strung and would never lay down and chill like Lola does but he may have enjoyed it more. I would recommend putting your pups in the basket and then walk the bike part way down your block and back, if they seem Ok with that then ride slowly around your block a few times, don't take them out for a really long ride until you know how they will do. Also if they are afraid or don't like it at first don't give up. Lola was pretty afraid on our first few rides she managed to discover that one of the bars in the corner of the cage was not welded on and to my surprise as I was peddling she managed to push through the cage and jumped out, it was awful she started squealing like a pig running down the street I threw the bike down and went running after her. Thankfully we were not on a busy street and she was not hurt, I put her back in the basket and walked the rest of the way home, little by little I started walking her and the bike until we started riding again and now she is fine. If you get a basket with a cage make sure to inspect all the welds, I had used this basket for 2 years with the yorkie I had before her and never knew that one of the rods had missed getting welded to the frame. I am now on my second basket. If you like bike riding and feel comfortable doing it go for I think you will enjoy having your pup with you when you go out for a ride

My husband and I take bike trips, here is a photo of Lola in her basket in front of Niagara Falls, LOL I doubt many other pups could claim such a photo

Second photo is of myself and my last yorkie Kirby, this will give you a better look at the basket and cage.
