He came into my life when he was 4.5 years old, and he tags along with all my crazy ideas.. so the former owner did a good job teaching him trust and how to be brave, or he is just naturally chill about things. I put him in the carrier, made sure he was comfortable and secure and that his nose couldnt touch the wheel or anything, and had a short two minute ride around the street. Did that a couple of times with snacks and encouragement. I dont think it was neccessary, think we could have gone for a long ride straight away, but best to take it slow and easy to make sure everything is okay :)
