My Firestone supercruiser has been nominated to pull the trailer in the parade this year for christmas, so it's time to use random things to make one? but what will it be made of? Cut up bikes and Ikea products!! lol. It should look pretty cool when done.

Heres the base hitch attached to the firestone/Monark. chains just wrapped around it for no reason lol. should I feel sorry for the donner bike? it got it's forks shoved into it's behind lol.

I've gotta go buy the trailer frame, might do that today. I'm gonna mount a hub on the hitch so I can tow a bike if I find one in the trash.

New ideas to look foward to!
The trailer will have coaster brakes!
It will have brake lights, possibly blinkers
And have whitewall tires!
The monark itself will have to undergo some slight changes.
Like a leaver for trailer brakes
Maybe a 3 or 8 speed hub
I also gotta figureout where to place the wheels, the frame i'm useing has many awesome places for em
 
Takinjg abit longer to get the parts,. also abit of design rethinking going on about frame, I think for a hitch i'll use the tounge and ball or whatever a lawntractor and trailer use. or a worn car part of somekind. the good news.

I tested the durability of it with useing the hitch to tow a second bicycle behind me, it worked flawlessly. but yes i'm gonna need more gears. And my bud happened to drop me off a 26" 3 speed coaster wheel, what luck! lol
