Hiya, anyone has recommendations for bike carriers for cats? I would prefer something in the front so i can keep an eye on my cat mostly for going to the vet.

Wifes bike is one of those folding ones so there is no carry bit at the back so looking for something that either secures to the handlebars or between the seat and handlebars.

Seen a few whicker basket types, but never used those before. Would appreciate any recommendations ๐Ÿฑ

I would Google some vet recommendations.

I tried to find the video again but I couldn't. But I recently saw an Instagram video of someone asking a vet what they recommended as a safe method of transporting a pet on a bike. If I remember correctly - which I might not - the vet was strongly against something on the handlebars that the pet could be flung out of in a crash. I think they suggested a pet-carrier backpack style method instead.
