Big bike trailer

  • I'm after a big bike trailer eg Surly Bill plus hitch to tow behind bike (obvs!) and to carry 2 bicycles, upright, plus a box of tools.

    Cheers. Mel.

  • Hey. That's the Rolls Royce. My challenge is to find a platform for carrying 2 bikes as securely as they would be on Thule rails on the car roof. This isn't it but if it was oooohhheeee £££££! 😀

  • Looks like something that could be fabricated pretty cheaply by a local metalworks? Hitch, wheels etc must be pretty cheap bought separately?

  • Yep. Can be done. I'm surrounded by retired aviation engineers here in Gloucester most of whom seem to have an engineering workshop at the bottom of the garden! Cheers Mel 😀

  • Built (ahem, assembled and modified) this....nuts. But works! Means I don't need to use the car to carry a kiddy bike to lessons or as in this case deliver a bike I've sold.

  • Missed this Mel. Looks nice. How stable does it feel?

  • Mel what trailer did you get in the end?
    Was it custom made or off the shelf?
    Cheers
