Just wondered if anyone on here had ever built a trailer to be pulled by a bicycle? And if so if they used plans and where from?

I know I could get one reasoably cheap on ebay but I also want a little project to learn to weld on.

Thinking of doing Rotterdam to Zeebrugge on the bikes but got a bit too much kit for just panniers.

Obree = Legend...

eh?

109.9 kilometres (68.31 miles) is the distance between Rotterdam and Zeebrugge.


or are you going via CapeTown?

I take it that's as the crow flies? We're planning on deviating from the direct route significantly, aiming for around 20 miles a day

I made a bike trailer for a school project... Designed it myself, spaceframe chassis, attached to the bike seat. Unfortunately i panelled it with MDF which made it heavy, but just do your own spaceframe chassis with netting or likewise

Was that two wheeled?

Yup had two wheels

I made one when I was about 15 out of dexian strips I'd scrounged from a local factory and two old BMW wheels. Worked a treat. Didn't have a digital camera in those days but my Mum may well have pictures of it if you're really interested!
