Bicycle Cargo Trailer Build – Take1
by simoriah on Feb.27, 2011, under Uncategorized
Monkey and I do a lot of fishing in the warmer weather. We also like to do a lot of bicycle riding. The two tend to be mutually exclusive, so I sent out to build a trailer so we can ride to the lake, go fishing, and ride home.
It’s not pretty. Hell, it’s downright UGLY! It’s part of why I scrapped the design.
I decided to make something that would be welded together. The welds should be strong and by welding, I wouldn’t really be limited to the design. I set out to make one of these: .
I was doing the welding outside so the galvanized EMT wouldn’t make me sick. The cheap welder kept burning through the material even on low power. Welds were ugly as sin.
When I realized that the wheel wells were all screwed up and not anywhere close to even (by about an inch!), I took that as a sign to just pitch that design and material and try something new. More in Take2
