I once tried it with a trailer and my 40ish-pound dog, and she jumped out of it within the first 20 feet. I gave up after a couple more tires. Goes without saying to try it in a park or on a residential street before trying streets with traffic. Last Saturday at Rivelo’s anniversary party, thei

I do it all the time with my terrier. She stays on the leash which I hold, because she's a hyper dog and in NYC there's lots of stimulation...if she jumps out (happened ONCE, but...) I let the leash run through my fingers until she hits the ground, so she can't run into traffic. Mostly it's g

I think it work well, as long as the dog is light enough and not too scampery -- I can imagine the sudden weight shifts as an excited dog scampers about a large basket. And yes, some dogs do bail. My then wife and I were very cutely carrying our 2 young Shi Tzu in a crate on the rear carrier, brot

I'm thinking about carrying a small dog in a Wald basket - I think the dog would love it. I've never tried it. I have two questions. (1) If you carry your dog on your bike, and have photos, would you mind sharing? (2) I'm not sure if I can trust the dog to not jump out - any ideas on safely sec
