Build Your Own Bike Trailer

Build Your Own Bike Trailer



Pavel Mamontov and Greg Diedrich created this bike trailer for the Ditmas Park CSA and Compost for Brooklyn, and they've posted the plans so any of you industrious folk can make one for yourself!

The CSA / Compost Bike Trailer project addresses the underutilized potential of the bicycle as a cargo carrying transportation device in the urban landscape of New York City. Implemented in order to meet the local transportation needs of the Ditmas Park CSA and Compost for Brooklyn, the CSA / Compost Bike Trailer ultimately seeks to connect and build relationships between environmentally minded groups and individuals in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Ditmas Park by helping them work together to make our food cycle healthier and more sustainable.

Seems like it'd work just as well for transporting all the needed equipment/supplies for a Prospect Park BBQ. Other ideas? If anyone tries this, let us know how it turns out and if the budget of $100 without paint/advertising is accurate.
