Aaron writes – “This bicycle trailer is made from 1/2″ EMT conduit that is bent and brazed into a frame. It uses scavenged bicycle wheels, has a plywood cargo bed, and can be modified for any use easily. The frame alone weighs 15lbs, and with a hitch, plywood, and wheels it weighs 25lbs or so. It carries 200 lbs safely, and it can haul up to 450 lbs carefully.”Link.

    My father built somehting similar to this bike when I was young. We needed a way to carry our lawn mowers around to our lawn mowing jobs. Yours is much nicer. ours were made from the front and rear fork of an old bicycle.
