I understand how and why people love dogs, but I believe a motorbike with a side hack is much cheaper over time. Not to mention, what better way to enjoy the company of a dog?

And more doggles!
They really are cool: there is a strap around the back of the dog’s head and one that goes under his/her chin. The whole assembly is very secure and Millie wears her set quite happily as go belting through the County with the top down. Here’s a photo - $17.99 at the PetSmart store.

As I look through the pictures so far, I laugh.We had to cut the tree out of it to save it.What a hoot that day!
Hi 5T,Not sure if you're aware of it or not, but alloy rims aren't the best choice for a sidecar bike, they flex too much. This makes the spokes much more prone to loosening up or even breaking. Steel rims would be a better choice.
I’ll be using the wheel set up that was original to this Hitch Hiker for this project. I will keep in mind your advice on the steel wheel use.ThnxNot sure if you're aware of it or not, but alloy rims aren't the best choice for a sidecar bike, they flex too much.

Interesting tip.I’ll definitely keep a close eye on the spoke tensions and fortunately have steel wheel/s if needed to change out.I'm not talking about the sidecar wheel. It's alloy, but a cast mag type, so it should be fine. I mean the wheels on the bike. Those aluminum rims will most likely give you spoke issues, at least on the rear anyway.
