I built this using a cheap bike trailer for hauling kids that I picked up off the curb and an old steel bed frame.

The idea is that I can use it to haul bikes around that I am working on for customers in my local community.

My next goals are to:

  1. Move the wheels backwards by about a foot to improve handling and reduce scraping when going down curbs and driveways
  2. Obtain a bike hauler that attaches to the roof or tow hitch of a car to allow me to tow more than one bicycle at a time

This version is awesome though because it was made mainly using junk and swearing :)

    Nice. As with any trailer, you want about 60% of the weight ahead of the trailer wheels. I doubt sway will be a problem at bicycle speeds, but that weight distribution should help keep it stable.
