Hiya, anyone has recommendations for bike carriers for cats? I would prefer something in the front so i can keep an eye on my cat mostly for going to the vet.

Wifes bike is one of those folding ones so there is no carry bit at the back so looking for something that either secures to the handlebars or between the seat and handlebars.

Seen a few whicker basket types, but never used those before. Would appreciate any recommendations ๐Ÿฑ

Not exactly what you're asking for, perhaps, but I've used a "backpack cat carrier" for this (basically a black backpack with mesh bits to see/ breathe through). I sometimes wear it on my front, which looks weird to other humans, but the cats tend to seem happier if they can see my face.

I have a backpack for a cat as well. One benefit over bike-mounted solution is shock absorption. When i ride over bumps, i can stand on the pedals and the shaking doesn't get transferred to the cat as much as it would if it were mounted directly to the frame.
