Awesome basket, but..., July 20, 2009
This review is from: Basil Pasja Animal Rear Mount Basket for Bicycles, Natural Wicker (Sports)
This basket is roomy and sturdy and the optional cover fits well, however, when I first placed the basket on my rear rack, I tightened it as much as I (thought I) could. It seemed okay, but when I took my dog out for a test ride, the basket came tumbling off the back! I can't believe my poor dog wasn't more traumatized.
A few shots of WD40 lubricated the fastener enough that I was able to get it much tighter and luckily my dog wasn't too freaked out to get back in the basket (and maybe that first spill was the reason he was so well-behaved when I took him back out).
I wouldn't tell anyone not to get this basket, but I would tell anyone buying it to be extremely careful when putting it on the bike, make sure you've got it on there as tightly as possible and take your dog out for a short test ride before planning on covering any distance.

Perfect for dogs on the go, May 28, 2008
This review is from: Basil Pasja Animal Rear Mount Basket for Bicycles, Natural Wicker (Sports)
To be perfectly fair, I am still working slowly to get my dog comfortable on a bike....
It's a decent sized basket and it lips up enough at the back to prevent worry about your little one getting tossed out the side while rounding a corner.
Getting it mounted on the bike will take a little ingenuity, but once you get it on it is fairly easily and quickly removable for dogless activities.

animal basket, September 30, 2008

This basket attached easily to my bike rack and is very sturdy. I love taking my two cairn terriers for bike rides in the neighborhood and they love it too!
