Success! Switch to a mountain bike for the cargo trailer was the correct move. More gears means moving a load uphill is now easy (albeit.... SLOW). Hauled some (full) plastic drawers one way, more (full) plastic drawers another way for a mile or so on hilly terrain, no problem. #BikeTooter #cycling
@ai6yr I grabbed a bike trailer at a neighborhood yard sale in the summer. It was a kiddo-side-by-side thing, probably mid-range in cost and quality. I took the kiddo seat out and its associated straps, and I want o turn it into a cargo trailer for either/both my MTB and/or my commuter. I cart enough crap to work, after all!
And a cargo trailer can haul radio gear if I'm riding sweeper for a marathon or something!
The trailer doesn't have much in the way of floor support, so I need to figure out what to do about that ... run wood slats like yours has? aluminum crossbars and a light solid wooden platform? Gotta keep it light an useful.
@jasonemiller The wood slats are pretty light on this one, for sure. This is a repurposed, mid-range kid trailer someone else had already did the conversion work on... Radio gear on this for sure, I need to figure out mounting options there. HF loading coil and mount on there? LOL.
@ai6yr @jasonemiller I've got a Heathkit 2 meter AM/CW radio I could donate to the project...
@W6KME @jasonemiller Hmm, I wonder if you could connect a dynamotor to your bicycle trailer tires somehow? 
@jasonemiller @ai6yr The vanes kill some more birds too
@jasonemiller @ai6yr I thought we were killing birds here
