The square tubing that I used to make the neck of the trailer is two sized larger than the tubing I used before, and the wall thickness of the tubing is at least twice as thick. With the gussets in key spots and strong-back that runs vertically from inside the trailer, I think it will be just simply skookum

Stu,

You do excellent work. Trailer looks fantastic!

Yeah i love it. I managed to find something i could use to attach my trailor. I found two things actually. One is from a shop and one thing in my tool box.

For a while I've been posting to this thread about the development of my cottage-industry trailer. It's now a bonafide product you can find out about it here: www.redbiketrailer.com and there was a mostly positive review (with a few adventures!) here: https://www.commutebybike.com/2010/12...railer-review/

Wow that looks so nice and i love the website. I try to do everything with reuse in mind too! Good to encourage that!
There is so many creative people on th is forum with their bikes and trailors

Thanks for the positive comments - this is the grim part of the year for the trailers. I'm spending lots of time and money building up inventory with not much chance of selling until it warms up here - April at the earliest. A kind word is extra encouraging now.

hi heres what i have, i think i'm bored with it and want to sell it now lol

Ah so it is winter there dayworks? We got summer here so i am out even in a heatwave. I should stop that really otherwise my heart might give out but i love being out.

Hope i get my trailor back soon. A friend is a welder so he is changing the arm over to the otherside for me as that is what suits my bike!

ef4l-nice job too

rapattack - today it's -9 f windchill - there are some stout soal that bike in this weather but I am not one of them.

Ekkkkkkkkkk that is too cold! What is 'stout soal'?

I think I would qualify as a " stout soul ". I am out on my bike almost every day (blizzard conditions being the only exception) making my deliveries, regardless of the weather.

Oh stout soul he he now i understand! I think i was like that when i had my health. IF it comes back and i am working hard on it i will be out there in the worst weather. I am out on the bike everyday now though. I can't seem to just go for a walk now. It's the bike and me he he

I've set up a facebook page for the Little Red Trailer. All the current news plus the story of it's ongoing development will be in one spot. Feel free to check it out and comment https://www.facebook.com/pages/Little...3794750?v=wall

Here is a great notstalgic 1950s dutch video with a lot of cool trailers.

Thanks that was neat!

Did you notice all the fat people riding them bikes.......?
Yeah, me neither

That was nice seeing that video kingfish254. The trailors were so varied!

Thanks for posting that video Kingfish. Very interesting to watch.

Wonderful!

About your flag on the trailer, I've been tempted to put one on my trailer, but I'm worried that it might hit some ped as I go by them, not what I'd need, or hit a car or such, what is your experience with the flag?

Domo!

The flag points straight up unless the trailer is tipping over which I try to avoid. I was rear ended a few times when I didn't have the flag. Because my trailer is long and low to the ground, I think the flag is a good idea.

Lovely trailer and the comparison with a monster SUV speak volumes! Fortunately not so common over here so I didn't realise just how massive they are until I placed my own pedal powered SUV next to one...

The first "Food Gathering" run with the new "Recumbents and the old trailer"!

Up around Marquette, were ya? And bravo on the skinny tires in the sand!

Here is my Schwinn dual kid hauler that I removed the kid parts and added a PVC board deck...I can haul 2 coolers or two large totes or one of each etc..

The blue front and back rails have a coating of clear, reflective paint and the little white stripes in the photos are reflective tape. If one more car tries to drive up my backside, I will mount a Slow Moving Vehicle triangle on the rear of the trailer....
