I was riding down in Trenton, NJ last weekend and saw a bike that had two crutches bolted so that an extracycle-size bed was created. The guy was riding down a sidestreet, so I only so him for a second. Anyone seen this, or even done it yourself? I don't have the cash to buy a utility bike, but could use the feature - -any ideas on making it work?

People do all sort of nutty thing sometimes getting away with it for a little while. This idea is
one of the "nutty things". :twitchy::twitchy:
I remember seeing a thread here somewhere of a guy who made a huge rear and front bed by bolting long metal tubes parallel to his bike's top tube.
I'm currently working on a bike trailer from an old baby stroller jogger and some crutches.

Did you complete that project? Ive just scored an old Baby Jogger which is perfect for a trailer but I hadnt thought of crutches, which I have as well. Im just hauling groceries so it doesn't have to be too engineered.
Love to see pics of baby stroller to non baby trailers!
