Default help with bring the dog.
Me and the wife wanna take our dog dog on the bike with us for short 30 min trips. The pooch is 27lbs. So far I am thinking either a cheap pair of large saddle bag(s), cut a hole in the top of one of them for her head to stick out. The other is installing a luggage RA k and using a t-bag pet carrier. I like how sturdy the t-bag set up would be, but with the saddle bag idea my wife could keep an eye on the dog while riding.

What do you guys think?

Please do the dog and yourself a favor and don't take it for rides. Too many things can go wrong.

This seems like a horrible idea.

Search the General Chat Forum. There are quite a few threads about how to bring your dog on a ride with you.

My buddy Josh's dog rides on his tank.



Here's a guy who brings his bird everywhere.
