I drew the initial plans on some cardboard
Cut out the two pieces
Held the shape together with zip ties
Two pieces together
Cut out the plastic, marking the bend points
Using a heat gun, slowly bend and shape the plastic
Two pieces shaped. I melted the ziptie holes with a soldering iron
Hot glued scrap flannel to the bottom and over the rough edges
Completed fabric covering
Made sure to cut holes in the fabric with an X-Acto blade
After hot gluing a 3mm foam to the inside of the seat, zip tie to the bike
Finished and attached bike seat
Unfortunately after all the work and engineering, Baxter refuses to sit in it. It makes me sad because I made it for him so he could come and enjoy biking adventures with us, but alas, I must seek out another option. It's still cool and would be great for a dog less fearful of everything.
