You hate leaving your fur baby at home, and they hate being left at home. We can fix that by securing one of these amazing dog bike baskets to your bike. Most of them have pockets for treats and poop bags. Some of them feature mesh windows while others feature sun canopies. Your doggo really can have it all. So, treat your dog to some good ol' fashioned fun this spring with a bike ride! It's got everything you and your lil' pup need. Inside this water-resistant basket is a soft, machine-washable fleece liner that Spot will quickly find comfort in. This front handlebar-mounted basket offers two safety tethers to keep your pet safe as well as a zippered side pocket and a mesh pocket for all your accouterments: leashes, treats, poop bags, water bottles, and more. Promising review: "Love the side pocket. It holds my iPhone 16 great, plus there’s extra room for a leash and poop bags. Very sturdy. Very easy to install. I would definitely buy this again. Highly recommend." —Heidi Get it from Amazon and Chewy for $93.98. Just because your budget is on the smaller side doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to go for bike rides with your furry friend. Though its weight capacity is only 11 pounds, it's still a durable basket; it's also water-resistant and has a tether to keep your dog where they belong (hint: inside the basket). And because it's easy to detach with a quick release, you could use it as a grocery bag...when you're not playing chauffeur for your pup. Promising review: "This basket is great. Easy to attach to the front of a bike. Snaps into place. I used it to take my senior dog on bike rides. She was older, and I wanted to give her the best life I could. I felt she was safe in the basket. It was deep for her, so I used a thick towel to get her up high enough for her to see. The basket was sturdy and secure. Highly recommend for very mild-mannered dogs." —Dee Dee Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in eight patterns). Because aesthetic is everything. Well, *almost* everything. With a classic wicker look, this moisture-resistant basket might just make you feel like you're biking through fields of flowers in a less sad version of 101 Dalmatians. It's got a plush, removable liner *and* a removable sun shade, so your pet can stay cool when you're on the go. Oh, and it's also got two safety leashes! Promising review: "This is THE bike basket to get. I know it’s more expensive than the other ones on here, hear me out, it’s worth it. It’s so secure and feels safe for my small dog on the bike. You can take the top wire 'cage' off, but the sun shade was nice, as well as the certainty that my pup couldn’t jump out. I definitely recommend this!" —Jennifer I'm sorry, but you will be jealous of your doggy, who gets to sit in this basket with a soft pad on the bottom and a retractable UPF 50 sunshade on top. This is traveling in luxury...for your dog. You can also remove the bike basket that sits inside the cargo basket and use that basket to shepherd things to and fro. Promising review: "This was a perfect solution for our 20-pound Cavalier King Charles. The basket fits well on the back of our new e-bike, so she goes where we go now. The shade is a good idea for warm climates and should work well once we are back in the rain." —Constance J With a three-point tether, this basket will help you feel confident that your pet is safe, even though you can't see them (unless you have eyes on the back of your head). It's got a quilted exterior and a faux-fur interior for maximum comfort. Biking at night? No problem! The basket actually has a reflective orange band to help make you more visible. Promising review: "I needed a basket that would fit my weirdly shaped electric bike. This basket has straps, and I was able to securely fit it on my bike with some adjustments. It is nice and soft and is big enough for my 20-pound dog." —Lynette This might look a little small, but take a closer peek — it's expandable, baby! Yup, it's got an extendable mesh window that lets your pet stretch out. Speaking of mesh, it's also designed with a mesh top and a mesh front to keep your furry baby cool as you bike this summer. And for you night bikers, you'll be glad to know that five reflective strips line the outside of this carrier (that also turns into a doggy backpack, BTW). Promising review: "This is the best investment in happiness I’ve ever made. Just seeing her smiling in this bag brings me so much joy, and everyone that passes her smiles. Fergie's lil' legs get tired on long walks. I love that I can just pop her in this bag, get a workout in, and take her to the beach to zoom around. It’s also incredibly functional — the pop-out extension, sling bag option, and backpack option with three pockets. Very, very happy with this purchase." —Danielle Get it from Amazon for $65.99 (available in two colors). It's kinda giving "E.T. phone home," but in a much more secure way. With a mesh zippered cover, this rear-mounted carrier allows for both safety and breathability. Promising reviews: "We love this basket, and so does our dog. She runs outside and sits by the bike waiting to go for a ride. Very safe, and she is hooked in with her harness and the strap provided. Love it!" —Gail Kvittem "What a great idea! Our 5-pound dog loves this basket. He fist perfectly with plenty of room left over. We use it on our bike and on our golf cart. He can’t wait to go for rides in it. I definitely recommend it." —susan miller If your dog is on the heftier side (complimentary), but you still wanna bring them on your bike rides, then you're gonna need a bike trailer. There are mesh panels and even a rain cover to keep your doggo cool and dry, depending on the weather. The medium-sized trailer can even be converted into a stroller with this handy conversion kit! Promising review: "My dogs love it! Sturdy and nice smooth ride. Easy to steer with one hand while using it as a stroller." —Cinwin Get it from Amazon for $147.67+ (available in three sizes) and Petco for $209.99 (available in two sizes). If your Rottweiler refuses to set foot on pavement or grass, then you've got yourself a bougie dog. No prob, Bob! This luxe trailer (which is made using sustainable materials, BTW) features mesh windows and a zippered panel that will allow your royal pet to peek their head out and wave to the plebeians walking by. Plus, it can convert into a stroller with the included conversion kit! Promising review: "I bought this to tow behind my e-bike, so my two senior dogs could join me as well. They absolutely love it. They are both a little under 50 pounds and can both fit comfortably. It is super easy to put together, is very durable, and is definitely worth it." —Stephanie Payne Get it from Amazon for $649.95+ (available in two sizes). If you're tired of zoomin' down the street on your Harley-Davidson all by your lonesome, rejoice! Because now you can bring your pup with you! It's covered in a weather-proof and UV-resistant fabric that'll help it last longer. This crate-style carrier allows for your pet to wiggle themselves into a comfortable position without their movement impeding yours. And with three zippered pockets, it can handle everyone's necessities. P.S. Maybe get your doggy some cute lil' goggles! Promising review: "This carrier fits perfectly on my BMW F650GS, and has plenty of attachment points and straps. Great ventilation for the pup, too. Lots of nice attachment straps, handles, and pockets. Seems very well built. SO happy with this purchase! I fully expect this will last a long time." —Amazon Customer In front of your handlebars? No. On the back of your bike? Uh-uh. If you're not a fan of those two common options, check out this unique center-mounted carrier that puts your pup between the handlebars and you. And! Kvisp is a small business! This Dutch startup wants to make bike rides comfy for you and your pet. Promising reviews: "I had great control of the bike and could still pet her to reassure her during her first rides. Terrific product!" —Nina C "I like that it connects to the stem of the bike; you don’t feel the movement if he shifts around. I’m so happy with this purchase and highly recommend to anyone who wants to take their pup with them." —Tammy D Get it from Kvisp for $299 (available in two sizes and colors). This expandable carrier (thanks mesh window!) is soft on all sides and fronts...and backs for that matter. It's even got a fleece bottom. There are four ways to open this carrier to get your furr-ito inside. Plus, it's got a side pocket big enough to put things like folding dog bowls, toys, snacks, and more! Did I mention it can also transition into a backpack? Well, it can. Promising review: " The basket is lightweight but sturdy, and the mesh panels give great airflow, which was important in warm weather. I really like that it has several openings — it made getting the dogs in and out much easier, especially when they were excited or sandy. The expandable sides give them more room to stretch out, and it feels secure when worn as a backpack. It’s comfortable to carry, well-ventilated, and easy to clean after a beach day. Perfect for small dogs or cats for biking, walking, or travel." —Cristina Baumann Max capacity: two sizes available — one with a weight range of 6–15 pounds and another of 10–15 pounds Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in two sizes). This pretty much has all the same features as the last fabric dog bike basket, but at a more affordable price (and in more colors...just sayin'). The only feature it doesn't share is that it doesn't have an expandable mesh window. But! This can easily be used as a backpack *and* a car booster seat! Promising review: "Complete with a short lead and strong netting material to secure your pet in the basket. They cannot jump out." —Mary "We love these carriers for our small dogs who begin to whine with excitement when they know we are getting ready for a ride on our e-bikes. The Velcro and straps securely hold the carrier to our bikes, which are very different. We would buy these again in a heartbeat!" —Dawn Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in five colors) and Chewy for $49.99 (available in four colors). * Durable Pet Products If Your Dog Is A Certified Chewer * I'm A First-Time Dog Mom And These Are My 11 Must-Have Products * Fun Products That’ll Keep Your Dog Entertained Indoors * Products That My Dog, Bailey, Really Loves And Thinks You Should Buy Plus, travel carriers, raincoats, couch covers and finds from Chewy.
