Folding Bike Trailer Demo - FredPereiraStudios

"Hitch your wagon to a star." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Company Car - FredPereiraStudios.com
With lots of art projects planned in the coming months, I needed a way to get supplies home from the hardware store. In Amsterdam this means something for my bike; something big and strong enough to move a refrigerator but small enough to fit up a narrow Dutch staircase. There was only one answer, a Folding Bike Trailer. I could not find what I wanted without spending way too much money so I got to work designing my own. Here are the results

    Innovative use of readily available materials, I have built and modified several trailers, thank you for sharing some inspiring ideas. On one of my heavy trailers I built a self actuated brake system with SA drum brakes, your hitch attachment on the trailer if hinged, lends itself to a good lever arm to actuate brakes.

    you get better control and stability the lower the hitch is mounted folks...Bem feito Fred! the trailer looks nice too.

    Why not make it fold up with hinges and locks instead of the somewhat awkward looking tie down design ? Maybe checkout the apache or exseter folding campers for basic ideas. The advantage would be that it could be locked . If someone cut straps on yours they could get the goodies from inside .

    time consuming task of set up back to fold up. Webbing to secure easily cut. timber ? weighty. Use aluminium and put wheels to balance distribution

    40 pounds when a mountain bike wieghs around 25 pounds . Im sure u could use sheetmetal and be nearly as strong but much lighter ( let alone aluminium or carbon fibre. Also if u dropped the one piece axle in favor of a stub axle each side you could fit the load almost entirely within the wheels while step having the same clearance as your pedals , thus making the need for collapsing it redundant . Its good to experiment but the goal and the method are important. With respect ok

    theres something fascinating about certain thickness plywood in its own right, but when I see it rounded on its corners and holes in it and nylon tape and wheels I get a fucking hard on boys. of course this is cool bit if u making it it has to be precise well hinged at the end youre left wondering if just welding a simple frame for wheel axels and throwing the biggest nylon tool box or fishermans crate on there would be more minimalist. fuck I love it dude. my hyper dog hates trailers , I pray for the day he gets as exited as I am. fuck grand prix cars and plastic groupie girls after money im in my fucking element here. thankyou . I don't think I could cope with out my fix of cart vids thanks dude. just bought a new welder imagine the possibilities. don't care a shit whether the chicks dig it or not mgtow
