I like this one. It looks pretty heavy, but should be very durable. Have you thought of putting a motor on the bicycle? See motorbicycling.com With most bike motors, you will still have to pedal for take-off and hills, but will be able to ride all day even with a load.

What was the effect on the steering and braking? Did the wheel have any toe-in or cant to it, or was it straight ahead like the rear wheel?

The pics are nice. But I would like some description of the building process, choices you made (and why), materials etc.

Not good enough. Sorry.
Go look at side cars for motorcycles and where the wheel is as opposed to the passenger.

Is this sidecar strong enough to carry an adult person?

[papafire]

Did you have any problems braking when carrying 300# of stuff?

[jtobako]

How well does it corner with the sidecar welded to the frame like that?
