Bicycle Trailer Bodges

[LEE]

"Spokey Joe" single child trailer from eBay, £27.

Covers and steel support structure removed and stored.

Plastic trellis/mesh cable-tied on for a floor.

Archery gear transport...









It's a very useful steel tube chassis, adaptable to any number of trailer projects I think.

30 seconds later..folded flat.  You can see one of the Quick-release wheel spindles.  You press a button and pull wheel off.  Tow-bar is hinged and folds under.

I have quite a decent one (I'll dig out details later) that needs this modification doing, but am now moving around a lot and so am looking to offload stuff.  Many of my movements involve going between the north and London, so going via yours would be relatively easy.  Interested?

For a conversion, it might be worth checking out this ebay seller further who has lots of child trailers listed spares or repairs from £22.99 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Spare-Repair-Blk-Red-Child-Bike-Bicycle-Cycle-Trailer-Children-Stroller-Carrier-/121153030431?pt=UK_SportGoods_CyclAcces_RL&hash=item1c3548891f#ht_2960wt_1199

Project complete, off to Archery ...my work here is done.



At some point I'll make some side walls for the trailer so I can just throw stuff in.  The long-term role of the trailer may be for shopping in France when we are camping in a Motorhome so the fold-flat-ability will be very useful.

That's exactly what we did to the child trailer my BiL gave us, only it was a fairly heavy steel thing. It's since been superseded by the lightweight ali trailer MFWHTBAB built for me out of an old rucksack frame and a tent pole or two. That has a correx base, not netting.

A very nice set up

Great stuff Paul.
Always easier to transport a bow by bicycle if it is one of these new fangled take down ones...
Must see how I can securely strap my 68" American Flat Bow to the bike.....

As a fellow archer and cyclist , this is genius  I have my children's old bike trailer in the garden slowly going green... this is exactly what I need.  Thanks for the idea.
