Hi! I made a bike trailer for my DT project at college. I made mine out of recycled aly tubes from an old trailer tent frame and sprayed it canary yellow. If I remember correctly it sort of fell apart due to some suspect welding on my part and had to be taped together for photos for the project folder!

If I've still got the pics i'll post them up!
