I'd go trailer for sure. Very stable and passengers seem to like that. Introduces no weird handling issues other than extra braking effort from the extra weight.

Not to offend our two-time poster from Karachi, of course.

They and CR seem to be kindred spirits.

My dog could fit inside a regular backpack. Not much comfortable, but would fit...

Our dogs would lay down and sleep on long trips. They would notice changes in air scents. Streamline both the bike and trailer. Check if loud noises affect the animal.

I'm telling ya, nothing will ride better than a trailer. Don't need to invent one.



If it's good enough for kids, good enough for dogs.

Do you remember when we used to consider people who treated their pets as if they were kids crazy? Little did I know that, nowadays, people who don't treat a lap-dog as a kid is seen as "too cold"...
