-
- Hello... I am looking for information or advice on building
- a bicycle trailer, that is, one that can be hooked onto the back of
- a bicycle and will allow full range of turning and movement, etc.
-
- I have seen several advertised, but they are invariably expensive
- I know they are quite common in Europe and other countries, but here
- in the U.S., hardly a bike-frinedly country, they are few and far
- between.
-
- I would appreciate any info on how i might go about building on,
- what a good design would be, where I can get parts, and
- how I can keep the costs low (I was thinking under $200)
-
- I was thinking I could get some wheels and maybe an axle at, say
- Sears, and then lumber for the trailer bed, but am wondering how i would
- construct the rest of it, ie, the part that would connect to the bike/
-
- Please respond by e-mail as I check these conferences infrequently.
-
-
- thank you,
