I was thinking if you had another smallwheeler. Personally I do not like baskets (at least heavy baskets) on big wheelers, and especially not on handlebars.

I have suggested something earlyer about frontluggage, and found somebody on flickr doing the same: if you look at the klickfix systems it is max 7 kg. If you look at the small frontracks (like some of the ones on the Practical Cycles site I linked to) they are 10 kg max.

If you atatch a basket or crate to the "caddy" klickfix (atatched low on the stem) and make sure the bottom of the basket is resting on top of the rack then you can put much more in the basket than if you use only the clickfix or only the frontrack atatchment. You need to carefully make sure you mount the caddy in the right height so they share the load.

What is NOT good with that system is the weight is following the front wheel, and 12 kg may be a bit much..

Best for this system would bw another smallwheel bike, with V brakes if possible.




Here they show it on a large wheeled bike but the system is the same- only you use the Caddy on the stem instead of that handlebar atatchment.

This is not a type bag that would be good for a 12 kg dog but this way of atatching and carrying the weight of luhhahe is good IMHO.
