What's in your pack?

Stop, stop, stop!!!!

All this talk of dogs is killing me!

I've wanted a dog for EVER and but as yet am still dogless. I grew up with dogs but at the moment both of us work all day so it wouldn't be very fair on the poor pooch. However, I'm hoping to get a job closer to home soon so I could pop back at lunchtime.

BF & I have already been making doggy plans, which included a trailer so we could take puppy up to the local beauty spot about 5 miles away for a good run around.

Aaaaaahhhh..... one day soon....

( Hey, Administrator - any chance of a little smiley to represent Day Dream face?? )

and your little dog too! Not a clue why I keep seeing the Wicked Witch from the West when you talk about a little dog in a basket on your bike!

Or how about ET jammed into the basket on the front of Elliot's bike. Now if anyone needed a trailer it was Elliot

May the Force be with us!

Wow... you all carry so much
But I'm not an MBC, so maybe that's the difference

All I have is the seat bag (keys, puncture repair kit, cell phone) and my pockets on my top (food - a banana or a couple of muesli bars, perhaps a windbreaker). And the bottle cage for 1 litre of water.

Thats me and my stuff

(LOL, def no room for a dog on my bike!)

How about this MomOnBike...

I use something similar for my roomies Shih Tzu (on hikes). He loves it.

Somewhere here (Dog On Bike?) I posted pics of Monty in the basket on DH's bike. Monty's noisy - lots of excited yips and whines - and active - he just can't get the bike to steer where he wants to go.

This makes for an exciting ride for poor DH. We take him to a nearby park for picnics, but that's about as much as is really practical.

So we won't take Monty on our cross-country epic tour, but in a limited way, this experiment has been a success.

And as for the front carrier, um, no. It's far too much like being pregnant. I've been there, done that, and have the hips to prove it. I was one of the mean and nasty pregnant women. We'll stick with the basket.

Bobs are great. I used to use mine for commuting to work, towing groceries home, even transmission parts when mine blew up-and cars seemed to give me the slightest bit extra berth, especially when I'd use the stupid flag. My husband uses bob to carry the chainsaw and/or tools around for trail maintenance.

One thing is sure-bob is a heck of a lot easier to haul behind you than a kid trailer!! I'll be so happy to swap back to the bob-or even better-RIDE NAKED!
You know, without anything attached to my bike besides myself...

My pack is pretty boring-tube, flat kit, tire levers, co2 cartridges and thingy, chapstick, multi-tool, chain tool, some money.
