THE DESIGN:
The Boxcar Bicycle Trailer is an urban oriented, travel friendly cargo trailer which connects to your bicycle. Durable aluminum/cro-moly construction rated to 70lb/32kg of cargo. Splashproof, smashproof, and lockable. The components disassemble to fit within the box - perfectly sized for checked airline luggage.
PROTOTYPE TESTING:
10/4/11:
Completed this first prototype last week, test riding has gone very well so far. It is strong enough for me to sit on, not that I would recommend riding it like that. With light loads the trailer has held up to some rough industrial potholed streets.
12/4/11:
About fifty miles on the prototype to date. Loaded it with 70lb of firewood and old car parts to and bashed it around SODO with my mountain bike. Handling remained agreeable despite the load.
