Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.

    Very nice! But caution: this is very nearly not-dull, which would be a rule violation /s

    In all seriousness, is the idea to haul multiple bikes at once? I once considered a bike accessory that would allow me to hoist another bike behind mine, vertically, but that would only work for one bike. From the width of that trailer, it looks like two for-parts bikes could fit, right?

      This iteration is built with what I had on hand so due to design it will only do 1 bike at a time.

      I am planning in a later revision to put some money into it and get a bike hauler like what people attach to the tow hitch or roof top their car which will let me carry 2 bikes at a time

        If you put a simple vertical frame down the middle of it, you can put one bike on each side and even lock them with standard bike locks.

          That’s a good idea.

          I think even blocking the wheels and using ratchet straps at the front and back could be effective as well.

          I need to ensure I find something that visually inspires confidence though as some of the bicycles I work on are $2000+

          With regard to security, I really am not too concerned about that. My city does not have a bike theft problem (yet)

          Most importantly however is that the trailer is not to be left un attended with a bicycle on it
