bicycle trailer.

Step 5 Chassis to bike connection.

this is how i built the trailer handle. So that the trailer wouldn't sit at a funny angle I needed an s-bend type thingy to raise the height of where it would attach to the bike. I had some funny pieces of wooden hand-railing that i drilled, screwed together, and then bound with waxed string. later this was to prove the weak point. the actual attachment to the bicycle is a pair of old crutches, these can be found anywhere.

Conduit - aluminum or EMT is easily bent - up to about one inch diameter. Some electrical shops will sell you a piece of scrap and bend it for you. Don't think I would go larger than two inch. 1-1/4 inch would probably be about right.

this is the best disign for a bike traler that i have seen so far on the internet and im going to try and make it this weekend. p.s wheal char wheals are a lot better for this type of disign as they are made to be side mounted.

hwo about some pvc and two 45 degree angles?

PVC is not strong enough to be weight bearing. also- It breaks down in sunlight so even if it holds for a while it would break eventually (at the least opportune time).
