Fast Handling Bike Trailer

Step 3 Final Assembly, Paint and Storage Attachment

Once it was all welded together I attached a piece of plywood deck for the storage area. I was not sure what I was going to use for the bin, so you can see it is not cut to any final size. This allows for it t be used as a flat bed too.

I used a 6mm bolt and some self tapping sheet metal screws to attach the wood deck. Then the bin was screwed on using self tapping sheet metal screws.

Finally some reflective tape and reflector added for visibility

Where did you get the tag along hitch? How much did it cost? Great build, thanks for the ideas!

The hitch I am using actually came with the kids tag-a-long bike I use for my older son. It is pictured in one of the last steps, 3 I think. They are available from amazon, target and may favorite Bike Nashbar. As a matter of fact Nashbar has them for $19 right now. Here is a link. Good luck with your build. Sean
