Cargo Bikes

Nice!

It's stupidly light, without any weight on it, it hop all over the fucking road.

The ultimate trailer would be this;

300lbs limit anyone?

That is moving something by by bike for the sake of it and to somewhere with no hills.

Perfect for an Ikea run!

how do you stop it??

With two brakes on your bicycle, it's not that diffcuilt to stop a trailer, unless you're brakeless.

yeah Im asking when its loaded. surely wont be easy to stop with only two brakes on the bike

just cycle at a pace that's easy to slow down, I haul a fridge one (those small one), my weight and two working brakes is enough to stop it, however the brakes would need to be in good condition and/or disc brakes.

plank of wood, some duct tape, a car bike rack, and we're sorted.

What does the sign say?

ducktape crossing

Did you not read the bit in the instructions about keeping the C of G infront of the axle of the trailer? ;)
Funny you should post that today though. I've just got back from the local car repair place - had some nuts welded on to the underside of my trailer's bed. Allows threaded inserts for attaching stuff, including my thule bike carrier!
There's loads of clearance (though the picture doesn't imply, camera angle)
I've also got a lockable plastic box that bolts down nicely too.

appologies for the highjack but i have a <1yr old christiania for sale if anyone is interested - it's in mint condition with cover all bought from velorution and still under warantee selling due to us moving out of london. currently in stoke newington. email me if you'd like to know more. ta

put it in the classified section I'm sure you will get some interest.

I'm actually aware of that, however I was worried about the rear wheel coming in contact with the bike, unfortunately it's set too far back due to the plank of wood being too long and the front part of the bike rack have a gorge that stick out at the bottom restricting the position.

Once I saw the wood to it's appropriate length, it should be fine.

Netherless I still managed to cycle from Wimbledon to Clerkenwell without much effort.
