I had the opportunity to visit Quebec City recently and was happy to see bikes all over the place. I have seen many hacks meant to incorporate man's best friend into the riding experience, a simple bike hacks search for "dog" will reveal enough to keep a reader with a dog busy for a while. I have seen many baskets meant to carry dogs, but until my visit to Quebec City I had never seen a basket designed to keep a dog from possibly jumping out. While walking by a restaurant I spotted this -
Inside was a little cushion, along with a leash.
It certainly would be scary if a dog tried to jump out of a front basket while the bike was in motion, and this seems to be a perfect solution. Do you ride with a dog? If you have experiences, wisdom, and advice, please comment or send your experience/hacks to us for posting.

these are in the 200 dollar range! we ended up making our own. will look for photos.

Hi BH,
Dog baskets like this with covers to stop the animal taking a leap for the worse are made by Basil in Holland. The one shown is probably a Basil as it looks a bit too neat to be one off handmade.
