1. A device for securing to a bicycle, comprising:
an adjustable arm having a first end and a second end and defining a fore-aft direction, the adjustable arm comprising:
a bicycle coupling at the first end, for securing the arm to the bicycle; and
a carrier mount at the second end; and
an animal carrier comprising a carrier base for mounting to the carrier mount, wherein the arm is adjustable such that the carrier mount is rotatable relative to the bicycle coupling, wherein the animal carrier and the carrier mount are configured such that the animal carrier is adjustably securable to the carrier mount in the fore-aft direction by, when the carrier base is secured to the carrier mount in a first position, detaching the carrier base from the carrier mount, translating the animal carrier relative to the carrier mount in the fore-aft direction, and securing the carrier base to the carrier mount in a second position, and wherein, in the first and second positions, the carrier mount does not protrude beyond edges of the carrier base.
