Bike trailer made from recycled stuff

My latest bike trailer took me three hours to build. I used 100% recycled stuff. It comprises six parts: goods trolley, two wheels, (windsurfing) attatchment, pin, string.

Love your extensive work there Bruce. Feel free to connect our videos, if Youtube still allows that; so much has changed.

Interesting - I've made several trailers from that kind of hand cart, for me and for friends. I tow them from a strong carrier instead of the seat post, and I use bicycle tube rubber strips as the connection - gives good flexibility, costs nothing. See my YouTube video of several of them and various loads and options if interested, search cheapest, strongest bicycle trailer. Cheers, Bruce Thomson in New Zealand

Hi Jerome. A little tip on the vids that involves recycling : this vid and the wick water garden one of Chris' have a bit of annoying wind noise. Pro mikes have a wind sock that stops that without interfering with the sound you are recording. A thin bit of foam can be stuck over the inbuilt mike and left permanently in place - make sure sticky tape or whatever you use doesn't cover the mike holes in the camera body. For an external mike - wrap the foam around it, fix with bread ties.
