How Do You Build A Bicycle Cargo Trailer?
If cycling is your main mode of transportation, you’ll benefit from having a bicycle cargo trailer to carry your stuff around. A bicycle trailer attaches to the back of your bike and allows you to pull larger and heavier items than you’d otherwise be able to. It’s fairly simple and inexpensive to build a bicycle cargo trailer Build the main body. You can create one out of wood using four pieces of 1 foot by 2 feet lumber screwed into a ladder-type frame with 90 degree brackets. Or you can use two 10 feet pieces of 3/4 inch electrical conduit (EMT) pipe and bolts to create a frame. Attach 16 or 20 inch wheels to the frame using 4-inch square electrical utility box covers bent to create axles. Use two per wheel. Create a metal trailer arm. EMT pipe works well or even metal from an old bicycle rack works. Bend and cut it into shape and drill holes into it so that it can be attached to the frame. Use bolts to attach the trailer arm securely to the frame when you build a bicycle cargo trail
