More from Summer Streets this past Saturday. A rider expertly balances about 10 pounds of dog in a shopping basket on the right handlebar.
You can always use a handlebar bag…

Dog, copilot
Goggles not only help to keep out road grit, but add style to any touring pooch’s ensemble.
I love Summer Streets in New York City, three Saturdays in August when you can bike all the way from 72nd Street to the Brooklyn Bridge without dodging cars.
Dogs everywhere: in handlebar bags, baskets, and trailers, or running alongside or behind bikes.

The usual, plus a butterfly on a horse chestnut in bloom
Great day for a ride with a basket-mounted dog. Two bicyclists rode past each with dog in basket – I shot, but the camera was asleep, and in the moment’s lag, they’d passed, caught in blur…about the third or fourth photo down the page. I didn’t chase them down.
I stopped to zoom in on a butterfly drinking the nectar of a flowering horse chestnut tree (warning, their nuts are not edible), when the last photo rode by.
Dog portage and Central Park randomness last Sunday
Two examples of dog portage:
Rounding up feral dogs on the green. You can see the victims of their attacks prone in the background, an underreported problem that the Central Park Security Committee wants to keep from you. Our photographer took this shot at great personal risk.
Unaware – perhaps in defiance – of the danger lurking, helmeted man and child wait at the 77th Street park entrance on a clever dual-wheeled self-powered transport device. We later learned that they survived their voyage without incident, the threat perhaps overblown by hyperbolic reporting.
The rest is random.
The one-time pigeon exception
They’ve accumulated over the years like bird droppings…
One bike, just to stay on theme.
