Yvan's BOB Trailer Mod
Yvan needed more space than the Bob DrySak would allow. So he took matters into his own hands. I decided instead to adapt my BOB trailer with a luggage rack. It cost me only $40 for the support. The advantages are that the panniers are lower, and therefore more stable. The weight is on the…

Ross's Pollution-Reducing Pyramid Ride
Tomorrow is Halloween and there will be plenty of little ghosts and goblins out hunting for candy. Others will hole away indoors watching spooktastic movies about monsters and mad scientists and their wild inventions. Which brings us to Ross’s invention: the Purviance Pyramid — shown strapped to his Xtracycle bike trailer, deck, and racks. Here’s…

Bob's Adams Trail-A-Bike Re-Purpose & "Tidy Cat" Panniers
The polls are officially closed — Our “most creative trailer build” award is going out early this week! Bob’s trailer knocks the concept of “re-purposing” out of the park: I bought a used Adams Trail-A-Bike off Craigslist for $50. Cut off the handlebars. Removed the drive train. Replaced the wheel with a stronger BMX wheel….

David's "Little Red Trailer"
In David’s own words: About six years ago I decided I would turn the resources of my display business towards making affordable cargo trailers during off-peak times.

Tim's Electric Bike Trailers
Electric boost bike trailers are pretty awesome. We especially dig the Ridekick, which makes hills less daunting and carrying cargo easy on the legs. Tim is also manufacturing his own version, pictured below. As he puts it, “The surging cost of gasoline and a desire for a greener commute are turning more and more people…

"AdBicy" Man-Powered Advertising Trailer
Advertise-by-bike! We’re already big fans of the Advert Trailer by Extrawheel. BizzOnWheels sent us their alternative: The AdBicy. According to Bizz (May we call you Bizz?), the AdBicy is perfect for “reaching the busiest pedestrian areas (tactical positioning of the mobile banners).” To be fair, the AdBicy cycling team does look pretty tactical.

Richard's Aussie Road Train Inspired Bike Trailer
Richard from Via del Mar, Chile found inspiration on the Bike Trailer Shop pages. He constructed this simple single-wheel trailer out of the extra rusted steel he found laying around his home. I used a 26″ wheel with an old fork and polished the rusty steel. In a week I’ll travel with my girlfriend to…

Jay's Big Wheel BOB Trailer Mod
Cool Jay builds mountain bike trails in his spare time and sometimes uses his BOB Yak to get to his “work sites.” In order to make the Yak more trail-friendly on rugged paths, he added a larger tire. Sounds simple enough… I made a couple mounting brackets that bolt up using existing holes on the…
