While there are D ring tie down points in the trailer, I'd just zip up the door to kept him in the trailer. There is an opening between the top and bottom sections of cloth at the front (bike) end that you can get your hand through. I'd have to hold a bit of steak to entice the beagle into

Hi Tim, I truly wish I could do this but there are too many variables involved with making the 4 mile trip from my apartment to work - never-ending construction and street work, loads of vehicles, and "racers" zooming by within the bike lane. I think the trailer is my best option assuming my

Hi All, We just adopted the sweetest rescue dog and I am trying to figure out a way to transport him to work with me via bike. He's a 50 lb shepherd mutt who does not spook easily - hopefully he will learn to enjoy traveling by trailer. Any recommendations for models to consider or avoid?
