Secure dog to basket?
For those who take thier dogs on rides how do you secure them to the basket? I just got the topeak rear basket and i tried securing him with a harness but it only secures his upper torso.

Seems kinda dangerous having your dog attached to your bike.How about training him/her to run beside.
The main thing is to be able to call Fido back should he/she take a wrong turn or get sidetracked.You
could also take some doggy treats with you and reward her/him at various intervals along the trails.
Although she's not the ideal running with bicycle dog(Ridgeback maybe?) my Pitbull loves to run beside my
bike though she's scatty and gets distracted easily

Still kicking.
If you like your dog, do not secure it in a basket, it's a good way to get your dog hanged.

some of the people I ride with have done this. It works pretty well except everyonce and a while the dog get in someones way and they have to slam on their brakes.... Oh yeah and you need to put the dog on a leash if you have to ride on roads.

Leave your dog home. If you are too lazy to exercise your dog off your bike, lose the dog or your bike. You sound like one selfish person... yeah, TIE your dog to your bike???? OMG!!!

You had to be "that guy" huh? There's always gotta be someone to try and slam the thread poster. So he's selfish because he wants to ride with his dog? And if you've payed attention to the posts, it's others that are suggesting on tieing the dog to the basket(strictly joking of course).

staple any excess skin to basket.
in all seriousness, i don't think you should attach your dog in anyway to the bike. if you were to crash, he can't jump out, and could be seriously hurt.

Here's a pic from the 2006 NSW Big Ride (a week-long supported camping/cycle holiday).
The cyclist, not pictured, is called Olga & she rode a dutch bike.
She would come to the catering tent for breakfast in her PJ's & fur coat. The dog was the most well-behaved dog I have ever seen. While Olga would get her breakfast, it would sit patiently outside the tent & hardly blinked an eye
