I wanted to find a photo of a contraption that would allow a small dog to ride on the front of a bicycle, because this is something I am thinking of creating for my little dog, Bodie. I found several interesting photos but, alas, the first 3 were not share-ware. I finally found one. (It has beautiful colours don't you think?)
One day I will build a wooden platform over the cross bar on my road bike and let Bodie ride my bike with me by standing or sitting in front of the handlebars. The design here is really cool - I like how the dog can lie down - but Bodie will want to ride between my arms. When she was a puppy I tried to teach her to ride in a trailer behind my bike but she didn't like being that far away from me. If she can see where she is going and I can talk to her I think she will learn to like riding with me.
Flickr is cool but I am not (yet) a person who seems to have all the time it takes to play with/learn all these things. I find it an incredibly slow process for the end product. But if I stick with it I will be faster and more efficient, obviously!
