The 10 Best Bike Baskets For Dogs

Early birds and night riders alike will appreciate the reflective strips on the Travelin K9 Pet-Pilot Original (about $88), which are a nice safety feature if you cycle near traffic. A solid chrome clasp prevents it from wobbling, and it has a handy mesh accessories pocket.

If your pet has to stay in a carrier when you arrive at your destination, then the Nantucket Expandable (about $90) is a smart choice. The sides unfold to give your four-legged friend extra room, and there's a fleece pad inside for comfort.

As long as your canine friend weighs 20 pounds or less, it will feel like it’s flying first class aboard the Beach & Dog Willow (around $85). This large, handwoven model is designed around a strong metal frame and features a resin coating for protection from the elements.

This KlickFix Rixen & Kaul Bag (about $118) includes an integrated rain cover, so your pup can tag along even when the weather's not ideal. And when it's time for a run to the grocery store, you can remove the cover and use the open-topped tote as a handy hauler.

Thanks to two large side pockets, you can store a leash, treats, and various toys in the Barkbay Booster (about $46) while you and your furry buddy cruise around. The mesh top allows for plenty of airflow, so the interior doesn’t get hot and stuffy.

A quality multipurpose option, the sturdy Wald 157 (appx. $41) is larger than most traditional pet carriers. It's great for running errands, though it will need the addition of a bed or padding to create a comfortable environment for your dog.

Lightweight and removable with a handy shoulder strap, the Pet Lovingly Travel (around $39) is ideal if you can’t bear to leave your dog behind whether you are on or off your bike. Inner padding creates a cozy environment while you pedal or carry your pet around.

To make sure your pup stays dry, the Snoozer Sporty (around $52) features a durable microfiber rain cover that stores conveniently in a side pocket. The inner pad and chinrest are removable, so you can free up space if your pooch isn't exactly petite.

The PetSafe Solvit Tagalong (about $55) boasts a rustic, countryside feel, thanks to its charming wicker weave. The faux-sheepskin liner is both removable and washable, and you can buy a wire cage for it separately, if needed, to keep dogs from trying to jump out.

The BiKase Dairyman (around $85) mounts to the rear of your bicycle, which keeps the handlebars free for additional accessories. The large holes provide ventilation that's more than adequate and make it easy to attach a leash or tether.
