Buddy Rider Dog Bike Seat – Front and center for every adventure
Buddy Rider is a clever solution for cycling with your dog – bringing comfort, safety, and shared adventure into one compact design. Unlike rear-mounted carriers, Buddy Rider positions your dog centrally over the bike frame, helping maintain balance and control while keeping your furry companion close. It’s ideal for small to medium-sized dogs, with an optional cushion available for miniature breeds who need a little extra lift.
Now available with more seat options – introducing the Buddy Rider Series 2 and the flexi arm option.
Buddy Rider Dog Bike Seat – Ride Safely with Your Dog
Buddy Rider is the original front-mounted dog bike seat designed for safe, balanced cycling with your dog. Whether you're exploring countryside trails or cruising coastal paths, Buddy Rider keeps your dog close, secure, and part of the adventure.
Mounted centrally over the bike frame, Buddy Rider ensures better weight distribution and stability for the rider. It’s suitable for small to medium-sized dogs up to 13kg. There is also an optional, additional cushion insert for miniature breeds, giving them a snug, elevated perch for comfort and visibility.
Now available in two models - Buddy Rider Series 1 and Buddy Rider Series 2 - so you can choose the setup that best suits your dog’s size, shape, and your riding style.

Our buddy rider is up in action and we love it! Some cheese-aided training got our Scamp quicky acquainted with it starting with sitting in it when on the floor, then on a stationary bike and within 24hrs we were whizzing down Brixton Hill in South London on it. Absolute game changer. He loves it and I love it. We used a rucksack before to get him around on our bike, but this is a lot easier to get him in and out of and more comfortable for both of us. Was momentarily strange having to cycle with legs slightly wider apart from got used to it. Best money have ever spent on a bike!

Wonderful news to know Scamp is now out and about with you with the wind in his ears! Thank you for sharing your experience. Happy pedalling!
Kind regards
