Cargocycles love dogs, and we have the best bikes and accessories to carry your best friend!

Don’t leave your best friend behind when heading out on your bike – take them with you. Forget trying to cram your poor dog in a backpack – they just don’t like it, and it’s a very unnatural sitting position for a dog. Cargocycles has some great transport solutions to carry dogs on bikes that are safer and enhance the riding experience for dogs.

Training your dog to ride on a cargo bike

Some dogs take to riding straight away, but others need a little encouragement. Training a dog to ride in a cargo bike involves gradually introducing them to the bike and ensuring their comfort and safety. Start by allowing the dog to explore the stationary bike and basket or carrier while at home – of course, using treats and praise to create positive associations. Then, begin with very short rides, gradually increasing the distance and time as the dog becomes more comfortable with the experience.

Carry a dog on the back of a long-tail cargo bike

Take your pooch to park, your mutt to the market or your furry friend for a frolic with the Yuba Wooftop add-on for Yuba bikes. Much safer and more comfortable for your dog than a basket or box on the front of the bike, the WoofTop is the first accessory designed entirely around the needs of transporting dogs on cargo bikes.

The Yuba WoofTop Dog Carrier features:
Removable, waterproof top for protection from the elements, a rigid and comfortable structure. Comes with an underwire system to secure your dog.
Adaptable: two sizes to suit the length of the rack and the size of your dog
Compatibility All Yuba longtail models. maximum recommended size corresponds to a Labrador.

Up front in a basket

Small dogs are often happy in a front basket like George the Cairn terrier in the Yuba bread basket of a Yuba Boda Boda. Tether your small dog’s harness to the basket frame with a small lead or carabiner to avoid them jumping out when passing dogs on the footpath or their favourite park.

The Yuba Bread Basket is designed for strength and holds up to 25kg and bolts directly to the frame of Yuba Bikes. It is extremely stable while riding, because it doesn’t turn with the handlebars. Suitable for all Yuba models. The basket comes with a liner with pocket (great for stashing cargo net or your bike lock keys while riding), and a cargo net is also included.

The Yuba Stuff Rack is the new basket for Head Tube fixation (HT) that replaces the Bread Basket for Yuba’s new bikes with Head Tube mounting system. It’s attached to the frame rather than the wheel, so you can ride safely without compromising your bike’s stability, even with a load on the front.
Features Storage space: 48 x 35 x 15cm Aluminium: more resistant but still lightweight
Compatibility Yuba Kombi E6, Yuba Spicy Curry V4 (Integrated Battery model), Yuba Boda Boda Electric V2.

Box cargo bikes for bigger and older dogs

Box bikes are ideal for dogs as well as kids and shopping. If your dog is small enough to lift in and out of a box bike, or if you have an agile pooch, they’ll be happy to jump in and out themselves.

If you have a bigger dog like a lab, golden retriever or Newfoundland or an older dog who’s not as agile as they used to be, a box cargo bike with front opening with easy access might be more suitable.

Bike trailers for dogs

While originally designed for cargo and child passengers, bike trailers are a great fit for a dog! Cargocycles has Christiania trailers that tow behind a bike, and Burley trailers have designed a trailer especially for dogs, the Burley Tailwagon trailer. When using a bike trailer, be sure to properly attach it to the bike and inflate the tyres to the recommended pressure. Check that the tow bar and hitch are securely installed and locked.
Be mindful of the trailer’s width when navigating turns, and take wider turns, especially in narrow spaces. Maintain a safe speed while riding, particularly when turning, and be aware that the trailer adds extra weight and rolling resistance.
