Baby!:

DIY bicycle trailer. After building my first bike trailer (using 12" stroller wheels with a homemade 3/8" threaded rod axle with 1/2" pipe spacer, a 1/2" plywood frame bed with a 3/4" steel conduit tow arm hitched to the rear bike basket handle with a folded bike tire secured with a hex head bolt) I wanted to explore some other designes, methods and materials.

The first was a 3/4" horizontal bend steel conduit tow arm with a caster wheel hitch. For this instructable I wanted to try a different configuration for the swivel caster wheel and to explore the use of weatherproof and good looking PVC conduit for the tow arm. As it turns out PVC is much too flexible. Even when filled with hot melt glue it is not safe, so I abandoned the idea of using PVC beyond testing schedule 40 filled with hot melt glue.

The smaller is a more experimental idea and may just be TOO small... the larger will work as well or better than the commercial counterpart.

This instructable will cost you about $10 for EVERYTHING for the smaller and about $15 for the larger...
