So you're basing all this crazy crap on a guy who wasn't even riding a bike?

I've never understood the behavior of yappy little dogs and how they seem to set the agenda for the much larger dogs they're with. I guess the domestication selection probably knocks out their...

Nice smile!

My sister just sent me a picture of her dog riding on a seat mounted where the top bar would be on a step-through bike. She says the dog just loves it.
