What a tidy job - it looks great! 🙂 I sold my car a decade ago (ran out of money) and ride my bike everywhere these days. I need to do about 70 miles a week. It's not much fun when you HAVE to ride (I can't afford buses or taxis or trains); the weather here is lousy - constant wind and rain - and there are no cycle lanes, so it means sharing the roads with angry motorists who want to see all cyclists dead; but I refuse to be intimidated. A couple of years ago I built myself a smaller, simpler version of your two-wheel trailer for carrying groceries. After struggling to find the cash to keep an old car on the road - tax, fuel, MOT test, servicing, insurance - there's a wonderful sense of getting something for nothing with a cargo-capable bicycle; mine costs me virtually nothing to run. It'd be nice to have an e-bike to take some of the pain out of pedalling, but like all EVs they're ludicrously expensive (10 or 15x what I'd call affordable), so I'm reduced to old-fashioned hard work to get around. At least it keeps me fit. One thing that anyone planning on making a trailer might want to consider is security. Although the bike+wagon combo makes for very effective personal transport, I'm based in the north of England (UK) and shopping trips involve leaving my 'rig' locked up outside supermarkets while I'm inside buying spuds and soap powder and tins of beans, so the ugly problem of theft becomes an issue. My bike's teenaged and tatty and worth no more than £30, so is not a desirable target for thieves, but the trailer always draws a lot of attention. I'm careful to chain and padlock it to the bike in two places, and then to lock the bike and trailer combination to an immovable object (in three places) whenever I'm away from it. It's sad that it's necessary to have to think in such paranoid terms, but at least the trailer makes it easy to haul half a ton of chain and padlocks around... 😁
Looks great, just need a ramp on the back to make loading and unloading of the mower easier, and you might want a flag. I have two on mine. Can't be do careful.
nice build. i bought a cargo trailer with sides but it couldn't fit to my wheel hub. so i purchased the kind that goes to the seat post from same manufacturer but it is the open design. i'm wondering if i can just use the sided trailer that i couldn't get to fit by drilling drills to connect it to the piece that goes to the new trailer. or could i connect the new trailer to the old trailer and basically have a 4 wheeled trailer. not sure how it would connect (to the axle of the first trailer) or cut that part off and just screw the two pieces together?
Way to go you guys are fully loaded now. I hope this helps grown your lawn business. I just started making my bike trailer from an old kiddie trailer. Check it out on my channel if you are interested. ATB
so fine!
with the extra shiny foils
it gets more attention
and the nice trailer deserves this.
so its not just for safety.
