Doggie on Board

Posted Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 1:08 AM by Lonely Planet



Some pets are so worldly they have their own pet passport. Others are lucky to just get a ride around town on the back of their owner's bike. Here Lonely Planet dog-lovers give us the low down on taking your canine companion for a ride:

  • Convert a little kid tote into a doggy tote
  • Dog bike trailers
  • A milk crate with a wire cage over the top, sitting on a small trailer thingy
  • Milk crate + chicken wire + broom handle + skateboard = pet transport system
  • Get a sturdy back basket and a car harness from the pet shop. Attach the 'seatbelt' bit to the bottom of the bike basket. Put a blanket down and strap her in - it works really well because the harness means they can sit/stand up but can't move far enough to get over the edge of the basket.

Got any other ways to get around town with the pooch?
