Great story! I have been thinking about doing something along these lines with my guys. I was going to do a front mount bike rack with a small wire dog crate bungeed to it. For my mac I was looking at a bike trailer I have and pulling the fabric off from it and replacing all that with a large wire dog crate. Thanks for posting your story. I will stop questioning my sanity and go for it!

Turquoise GCC - Fiji - Hatch Date: 8/14/12 and Yellow Sided GCC - Sundance - Hatch Date: 4/12/13
I bike with my 2 little GCCs! I have a black wire mesh basket mounted on the front of my bike, with a piece of screen over the top, and a bungie cord keeping it closed. I put a towel in there and a little perch, but mostly they cling to the sides looking out! They SEEM to like it, and it gives them a good dose of sunshine and fresh air. For me too!

What a great way for Barney to get his vitamin D! :D

I take our Franklin (Green cheek conure) and our Pigeon, Belle out from time with their flight suit...we also get a TON of attention on our outings :)

Loved the little video clip!

Thanks for sharing and congratulations!

I have had quite a number of people ask how to make the rig, so I have started to make a set of instructions here.

How To | Barney the Biking Bird

So if you want to go for it, I would encourage you if you have an appropriate companion bird for biking.

Wow, what an awesome idea. Barney is having such a thrilling time getting fresh air and sunshine. Very cool. He's so cute, too! I love the way the way the voice of an Amazon sounds. :D
