With the truck out of commission, I turned to the bicycle. My goal here is two terriers on a folding bike. The other terrier will go in a similar basket on a rack on the front. All I need to do is figure out how to quick-fix the crates to the racks. These bungee cords almost do the trick, but a little more security is needed. It looks like almost everyone is using zip ties, which are very cheap. I will probably do the same, but clearly there is space here for an invention that would cleat the box to the rack with a simple screw or cam attachment usable on any rack. One option, apparently, is the use of bendable, and reusable Gear Ties

The Mechanics of Two Dogs on One Folding Bike

You could use one of these on the front:

My dog is about the same size as Moxie and will happily ride 50 + miles in it. I also sometimes use it in a rear basket that is zip tied to the rack, depending on my setup.
