There is also a very inexpensive model called a cruiser, but it's not made well at all. Mine was a little over $200.00. You see this style on all the CA. beaches and with baskets and pups. People love biking, and love taking their dogs.

Yes, the girls are wearing doggie helmets.

Here is where I ordered them from. And they are extra small size.

The basket was hard to find. I needed a large size so they wouldn't be cramped up.

Can you tell me how big your two girls are? I'm looking to getting something similar for my little man; he's 12.5 lbs & I'm also getting a new girl in june, so I want something they could both ride in.

Awwww that is soooooo cute like the other YTer said I don't even have a bike but will get one just so I can put Bailey in

OMG!!!! That is the most adorable picture I have ever seen!!!! I will definitely be looking into buying those helmets and the basket! You should get a referral discount on future products for sending so many of us to them!

OMG...that is so freaking cute. I do not even have a place to ride and I am so already wanting to get one. I will have to talk to hubby tonight about a new hobby. Your babies are just adorable!!

Yorkiedaze · 03-13-2007, 09:43 AM

WOW AND DOUBLE WOW!!!!! I'm overwhelmed at all the wonderful compliments!!! I suppose I've started everyone thinking of getting out on bikes.

GOOD!! It's wonderful exercise, not to mention how much more fun bike riding is when your fur-kids are with you. I use to love riding, but since taking the girls with me, well I couldn't believe what a wonderful experience I had been missing.
Fun is anywhere, snow or sun, as long as the babies are with us I believe.
Ponyup, my girls are not the itsy-bitsy type.

Zada, the really silver blond girl is 8 pounds and Azrael, my dark girl is 7. They have lots of extra room in the basket for water and such. I got this large basket just so they would have extra room, plus I love the openess of the basket to get all the breezes to stay cooler. My friend had the nylon type basket and her dog was so miserable and hot, so she ordered the basket. I'm going to make another basket pad in something a bit cooler than this fleece too! I also made a better attachment than just the leash. I took a 9" strip of bias and sewed a clip (like on leashes) at each end. That left 7", and is plenty of room. One end to hook to their travel harness and the other end to the basket. The bias is small and light, but there is no way it will ever break.

Yes, I wish now I would get some sort of discount from being a riding advertizement.

The lady in PA. that I bought the helmets from is named Lynne Hyser. She wanted me to send her a picture too, so I did. You could just tell her you saw the picture if you want. She would be happy about the exposure I bet!

Now you guys.........I'm am going to be just way too excited to see all of you on your bikes with pupsters in baskets.

This will be so exciting!!!

yorkiegirl83 · 03-13-2007, 10:09 AM

You've definitely inspired me! I was going to get one of the bike attachments that goes on the back, but i'm totally getting a basket now thanks to you! <3 I'm going to have to get one for me, and one for the fiancee for my 3 furkids

RMKC · 03-13-2007, 10:10 AM

Oh My Gosh, that IS one of the cutest pictures I've ever seen.

LuvMySissy · 03-13-2007, 10:37 AM

Akina · 03-13-2007, 10:58 AM

OMG How cute are they!!!!
I can't believe there is a helmet for dog!!!
Who knew???
Love the pictures and your girls are very pretty!!!!
I'm inspired however I live in SF and my apartment is kind of on top of the hill....

Yorkiedaze · 03-13-2007, 01:15 PM

AKINA, my son also lives in SF, but there are lots of places that are not on a hill.

How far away are you from the wharf road? Wonderful place to ride a bike down there.

Reesie · 03-13-2007, 01:42 PM

I don't even have words to say how cute that is. I didn't know they even made bike helmets for furbabies.

PANAMA69 · 03-17-2007, 11:29 PM
