That looks like so much fun!! Gorgeous view

Totally jealous... I want to get a bike with a basket this summer.

Go Yorkiedaze! and I love the helmets and harnesses attached so they can't accidentally fall out! Seriously, your picture has inspired me to put a basket on the bike we're restoring!

OMG!!! I Love it.. love IT.. LOVE IT!!!!! I've never see anything so CUTE in my life!!!! I was so planning on a basket for the summer! Now I have absolutely got to have those PINK HELMETS!!!! Just precious!!!

Where did you get your basket? The one my sister got is a lot smaller than that...but I bet I could fit all 3 of my girls in that basket you have your two in!!

I haven't taken Gulliver yet because he's still a puppy and waaaay to rambunctious to sit in the basket, but Soph loves bike rides. We keep the bikes inside the apartment so they don't grow legs

while we're at work, and it only took her about three times to learn that she can jump up on the back of the couch and right into the bike basket and she's ready to go. I cross tie her with two leashes, one from either side of the basket, so she can't jump out. Also, since this pic was taken I've added a padded lining so her little toenails don't get caught in the mesh of the basket.

That is just brilliant, I've thought about it but can't find a basket that I feel is safe enough, any good recommendations

That's awesome! Love the ocean/beach in the background! Paradise!

Yorkiedaze · 02-18-2011, 03:31 PM

Here ya go. Before ordering this basket, I suggest you measure to see if it will fit on your handlebars. My bike is a beach cruiser and doesn't have gears on the handles, so I have all the room needed for this large basket. I also made a different pad for the bottom that isn't so warm or so thick, but still padded. In those pictures I have them tethered in with leashes, but have since made short restraint's (using bias tape, doubled) with leash type clips at each end. They work so good. I'll have to have hubby take pictures of all three of our Yorkettes in that basket with helmets AND their pink doggles.

I don't know when I have EVER seen anything so cute. I want to get a basket for my bike soon. But my riding area is limited here.

I see alot of people posted that they were going to get a basket last summer and ride. So how many of you did? Post more pics

Yorkiedaze, I am still waiting to see some pictures of all three Yorkie girls in that basket with helmets and pink doggles.

Yorkiedaze · 02-26-2012, 03:36 PM

I won't go out on the bike without my hubby, but soon I hope.

I have seen handlebar baskets for little dogs that have seat belts attached. I'm sure they must sell them online somewhere.
