$13 DIY Travoy

Just finished a project. Bag Boy folding golf cart, light and very well made, from Goodwill, carrying a very large High Sierra duffle bag strapped on tight. Handle is strapped to the back of my rack. Cart cost $7, duffle cost $6, and I just brought home about 40 pounds of groceries without incident. It looks quite slick, trails nicely at speed, holds a ton, and folds up in a few seconds to the size of a flat duffle. Picks up as soon as I am on a computer.

If someone will email me at gdhillard@yahoo.com, I will send the pics and then they can post them? I am doing this from a phone, and can't figure out how to do an attachment of pics to the post. Thanks.
