A nice blog from one of my cycling friend with his homemade trailer and details of his short trips to :-

• Bristol to Devizes
• Canada to Palistine

I was the original test dummy for his trailer that will be another story

Enjoy

I offered to test the trailer so my friend loaded up the trailer with old junk, so then I rode around the quiet local green... it started snaking like mad and was very difficult to control..

It didnt really matter how fast or slow i went... then all of sudden it flipped over right outside some old folks housing block...I didnt know till then but the junk included couple of boxes of 000s of loose screws / rusty nails / nuts and bolts and it spread all over the road... so i of course i started clearing up ... it took bloody ages ...

Because I was crouched down picking the junk up about 10 grannies rushed out thought i got ran over or fell off and they were very nice and helpful bunch

The tea and biscuits started flowing and we had a good old giggle.

After a few more adjustments and wielding more bits of junk metal the next dummy run we decide to use a few concrete blocks instead and it ... but some scumbag recently nicked his hand painted matt black bike
