I fully expect that we might change to a pre-built cargo trailer later on, once we've established our usage.
One thing our keen eyed observers may notice is that the support / stroller (yeah right) wheel is on the outside of the trailer arm. This was done as a reaction to the mount hitting the spokes while we were trying to turn the bike trailer combo dismounted. The wheel is only there as a support and is not used / mounted when the trailer is attached. We had hoped to use the trailer as a shopping cart, but the stroller handle was missing part of it's clamp, and the front wheel of this thing isn't well suited to the task.
I appreciate the descriptive detail and the great pics. I am on the lookout for a used kiddie trailer on the cheap to convert into a cargo trailer as an alternative to the home brew bamboo trailer I've been considering.
