Building a Bicycle Trailer

Looks great. I'd bet folks would be hard pressed to tell that it didn't come out of a bike shop somewhere!

Rob, he painted the bike himself, so the color match was probably dead easy as long as he remembered what color he used before.

Thanks Vaughn oh boy i knew that but did not remember and i read all the posts at the time. This is getting scary.

Yep, I had a couple of cans of paint left over, so matching the color was eay.

I use it everyday, unless it is raining hard, as the customers don't want their product delivered WET.

I have only one customer that I still use the Scooter for, as they are a bit far away, about 3 1/2 miles and the route is not bicycle friendly (I'll have to scout a new route) and at one point there is a climb up a L-O-N-G hill that is steep, and these customers order 10 bottles of sake which weigh around 70 pounds, so that would be a killer hill climb towing that much weight

Maybe when the weather cools down a bit and I've lost more weight I'll give it a go

Comments, a lot of people tell me how they remember when lots of shops used bicycles with "Rear Cars" as they call them in Japanese. The other comment I get it that people think I lost my drivers license so I have to ride the bicycle It is that far removed from understandable that they think I got nabbed by the cops is more likely than I'm trying to get into shape

The other one is that I've gone "Green"

That one makes me laugh

Stu, this would help on that long hill! Electric Power

That is very cool Dan, but wow, $400, I'd rather pedal

Nice Job Stu it looks great
