Bike Basket
is my dog allowed to ride in the basket on my bike?
ok so i go for very long rides and i dont like leaving my dog home on her own when she can have fun outside and look at the views on my bike and feel the wind through her fur and i feel sorry for my dog when i go fast because she has to run and she gets tired, so i can put a basket or bucket thing with her little cushion infront of my bike so she can sit in there or lay down and just enjoy the ride, is that allowed or will the police stop you and say its a distraction.
btw i live in adelaide, south australia and she is a chihuahua x
I don't think there are any laws against it. But I would strongly advise that you put some sort of harness on her, so that she can't jump out while your riding, as you can imagine that could be really dangerous to you and her, so make sure she is very secure in the basket.
Chihuahua's are very small, so your right not to make her run behind the bike, this can cause injuries and also put too much strain on a dog's heart, specially don't tie her to your bike and make her run behind. I say that becuase I've seen people do that:(
So as long as you are sensible, keep her secure, and let her out when she wants to run around, then I'm sure it'll be fine, I've quite often seen people with small dogs in there bike baskets, lol. 
edit: Re Nora:) I didn't know you could get proper dog seats, that would def be the best thing, they will have a proper safety harness in them, much safer:)
