I decided I needed a bike trailer to haul stuff like groceries, tools, etc. around the neighborhood, and I found a simple plan on Instructables. Mostly I have used it to peddle my cucumbers, lettuce, and pickles to neighbors. I've had a few issues with getting the wheels adjusted right, but it is pretty reliable, and customers like the rustic appearance.

That's so cool Andrew!

Can you post the Instructables link here?

And how long did it take to build it?

The instructions are a bit hard to follow. Also, I modified several things, based on what materials I had, etc., and made a better hitch than the one they had.

It took a few hours, 4 maybe?
