If you haven't hopped on the bike trend yet, you will now. Biking is excellent for efficient transportation and exercise. A nice bike ride through the park or to your local brewery would make for a fun Saturday. The only thing that could make it better is a bike pet carrier for bringing your dog along.
Of course, your pet can't Stranger Things style and stand on the back of a bike, but they sure can ride E.T. The Terrestrial style in a dog basket. Dog bike baskets are available on Amazon. There are plenty to choose from. There are front-facing bicycle carriers, rear baskets, and even some dog bike trailers. If you think your furry friend would enjoy a bike ride with you, they'll love their dog bike carrier.
Best dog bike baskets
1. Petsfit safety dog bike basket
Your dog will be safe in this bike basket! There are a safety leash and drawstring that secures your pooch inside. You can use it at night as well since there's a reflective strip. It's also versatile for all seasons since it has a plush side for winter and a nylon side for summer.
It's the perfect dog bicycle basket for small dogs up to 12 pounds. Once you've arrived home, lock your bike to the bike rack, and use the shoulder strap to carry your dog back inside.
2. PetSafe solvit tagalong pet bicycle basket
Here's Amazon Choice for bike baskets. It's the perfect water-resistant basket! The sheepskin liner is machine washable, which is a major perk! Pet bike baskets are the best.
If pet strollers aren't your thing, this is a fun way to get smaller dogs out of the house without them having to walk or run. There are nearly 1,300 reviews with 4.5 out of 5 stars. Got to love the sunshade on this bike carrier.
3. ANZOME bike basket
This pet bicycle basket is also easy to clean! The handlebar basket is waterproof, so don't worry about it getting ruined by the weather. You can't beat the price on this one. If you have a small dog and like easy storage, small pet baskets are for you.

5. Travelin K9 Pet-Pilot Wicker MAX - Dog Bicycle Basket Bike Carrier- Includes Wire Top with Sun Shade
Travelin K9's bike basket is another great fit for small dogs. The wicker basket is too cute, and it's something to consider if you're looking for something that doesn't have a shoulder carrier attached.
A customer gave it a perfect rating and wrote, "Super cute. Well made. Works great for my 10 lb Havanese but could fit a bigger dog. I ended up zip tying it to the rear rack of our tandem so it didn't interfere with the headlight. The tether inside for the dog is strong which is good because my little guy can fit between the bars of the top part easily."

8. Walky Basket Pet Dog Bicycle Bike Basket & Carrier Easy Click Release Mounting- Up to 15lbs 15.5" Wide x 10" Depth
If you're looking for something extra sturdy, consider this basket by Walky Dog.
A customer gave it five stars and wrote, "We love this pet basket! It is perfect for our 17 lb Shih Tzu mix dog. The engineering is fantastic. We had previously ordered another one which looked similar but sagged onto the front tire and the attachments interfered with the brakes and gears. I watched the YouTube video showing how to mount the Walky basket and it was very helpful."
Pet trailers
If you have a large dog, this is the better option. This pet trailer can fit dogs up to 50 pounds. There's a rear doggy-door for your pet to easily climb in and out of. They can't get out on their own if you use the internal leash. If you live in an area with tons of mosquitoes, your dog will love this trailer.
It has an adjustable bug screen and breathable material. The wheels inflate with a typical bicycle wheel pump. I love it; it's basically a princess carriage for dogs. With 4.6 out of 5 stars and over 2,000 reviews, it has to worth it.
10. PetSafe Solvit houndabout pet bicycle trailer
This pet trailer gives your dog some freedom to look out of the opening. There's a waterproof layer, mesh cover, and leash attachment for protection. Your dog will ride comfortably since there's a cushion inside. There are zippered compartments and storage pockets to hold your water bottle and supplies for your dog.

This one might be the best bang for the buck! It's a multipurpose trailer that can also be used as a stroller. It has a removable rain cover to prevent rain from getting your furry friend wet. It can hold larger dogs that weigh up to 66 pounds.
