Before
you get started on your biking tour, may be you can
invite your friends and family too to come along.
Take care to see that the basket for your pet is attached
quite firmly right in front before the handlebars. Also
observe that the handlebars don't get stuck while you
are riding.
Check the chains. Make sure that they are well greased
and the tires are filled with air and the gears work
well.
In case, you are not comfortable with cycling, don't
take your pet along unless and until you get comfortable.
If you have two big dogs, two cats, and two parrots
- then let the dogs run with you and let the birds perch
on your shoulders. For the cats \you and your kids or
spouse or parents can take turns sharing the cats -
one for each bicycle rider.
Also be careful that you don't tire yourself out on
a biking expedition. Make sure that you have a heavy
breakfast at least three hours before biking. It's okay
to gulp a couple of glasses of fruit juices before starting
off.
However, if your cats are nervous, just leave them alone.
Travelling will not reduce the anxiety levels and may
in fact exacerbate the panic.
