Bikes: Trek 520, Surly LHT, and an XtraCycle

Hi,

Thanks to all for posting great photos of your trailers. I borrowed liberally from your ideas.

Here is my attempt at a home-made trailer. It's made from fairly thin-walled mild steel tubing and some old bicycle tires from junker bikes. I used a conduit-bender for the curves and an oxy-acetylene torch from the local university for the welding. The design is intended for hauling heavy loads with no car. Seems to work well so far. My next modification will be to weave some mesh hammocks for carrying groceries.
