Bike trailer bike trailer

[tyler perk]

I have started to modify my kids old schwinn trailer to use it as a way to bring bikes with me on rides. Mostly for when a friend needs to borrow one.

I plan on painting it to match my 61 speedster

Next step is some fenders
Rough form. Needs to be shaped

Consider flipping the wheel blocks over. You will want to get the center of gravity down as much as possible when hauling bicycles.

I rebuilt a similar trailer in to a cargo model that works great.

Good call. I didnt even think of that. Just started the build and this will even make the look that much more awesome.

Thursday is going to be glass day. Then the fine tuning starts. I flipped the wheel blocks today and the lowered look with the fenders is going to look awesome

I always love watching fiberglass work happen, I have done a bit, even helped my Uncle build a yacht but still love watching others do it!

Well, the problem with that setup is vehicles pulling trailers are limited to 55 MPH in California.

Pulse jet.

I like it. Are the channels cannibalized from a rooftop bike carrier or did you build them yourself?
