OK...I'm going to embarrass myself by posting these pictures because due to health issues, I have gained a LOT of weight. Going for surgery again on Monday and am hopeful this will be my fix.
Anyway... I was 5 when I got my first poodle, and we went bike riding everywhere!!! I know it's different when you are little. In my case, I never really grew up (4'10") LOL! She loved it and always stayed in the basket enjoying the breeze in her face. She jumped out one time when I was taking an excursion in a nearby field full of grasshoppers. I was stopped at the time, so she decided to catch her a snack.
I didn't go riding with my second poodle. I got serious into road cycling and knew it was too fast for her safety. I got to where I would average 18mph on my own or 25 mph with a group.
Now with my third poodle, I figured I could take her on a casual ride around the neighborhood on my mountain bike. These pictures were when she was 3 months old. I had her in a harness that was connected to the bike's handlebars. Good thing too. She was a wiggle worm! It's amazing how much it can affect you when they shift their weight. If it's been awhile since you have been on a bike, I would get used to it again. I would also put your pup in the basket and walk the bike, so they can get an idea what it is all about.
Now my little girl has grown up. She is almost 11 lbs and 12" X 12". I don't think I would trust the basket anymore.
OK...here's the pictures. Just concentrate on how cute that little puppy is!
