I just have one word........OBSESSED!!!!!!!! Hubby and I just bought bikes and I have ALWAYS wanted to get a basket for H&H. Now I can!!!!!!! The helmets are too cute! AWESOME pics!

RLC12345678 · 03-18-2007, 11:16 AM

P.S. -- How do you keep them from jumping out of the basket?

Yorkiedaze · 03-18-2007, 12:22 PM

At first I just tied their leashes to the basket, but now have taken bias and sewed the clip on each end to fasten to the harness and the other to the basket. The girls don't even attempt to jump out anyway. They LOVE riding. My husband just bought himself the classic bike, only it's bronze and is a mans classic. Now we can all ride together and I'll feel much safer.

OMGG! What a gorgeous day and what an awesome bike ride. It looks like ya'll had a bunch of fun and your babies are adorable in the bike basket

I was totally overdressed because it's generally really cool there..........ha! I nearly died. It was so hot I could have melted pounds being naked even!

We are having the best time going places on the bike. For those who don't have a bike yet, get one.

It's the best therapy yet when you take your babies with you. They love it even more than a car ride because they have front row seat!

WOW. I can't beleive I haven't seen this thread until now.

Those are some of the best pictures I have ever seen!!!

mizzwanned · 03-21-2007, 05:43 PM

OMG!!! I was actually laughing out loud! Their pink helmets...they are adorable!!

GracieLou · 03-21-2007, 05:43 PM

omg that is the cutest thing ever!!!

Ponyup · 04-02-2007, 07:46 AM

FYI, I found a bike shop around me that sold the basket like the OP uses. However, it will not work on a bike with a quick release front tire (like more mountain bikes have). I am now ordering a rear basket instead, we'll see how it goes.

This is the basket i'm getting; it's the kettler rear basket.

Lexi Rae · 04-02-2007, 08:07 AM

izzy816 · 04-02-2007, 08:09 AM

Oh that is the cutest picture!! I love their little helmets. That background is beautiful!!! Man, I wish I lived near water like that. You look like you were having a great time too!

Yorkiedaze · 04-02-2007, 08:37 AM

I was riding on the coast line on Vandenberg AFB. Not open to the public and rarely do I ever see anyone except maybe a few people down on the beaches walking around sometimes. The base has 35 miles of ocean view and it's spectacular!!!! My hubby is retired AF and is employed with Boeing here on this base. We live only 4 miles from the main gate. We prefer riding on the coastal roads because all you hear is the ocean and rarely see a car or person. A great way to rest the soul.

Passionfruition · 04-02-2007, 08:55 AM

How adorable is that?!!! And bike helmets for everyone, too! I love it!

furby2000 · 04-02-2007, 10:22 AM

Great picture! The furbabies in their helmets had to be the talk of the town for that day! They are beyond cute. And what a gorgeous gorgeous view

There is absolutely no better day than a day spent with a yorkie
