Building Bike Trailers class description:
The goal of this class is for every student to build a bicycle trailer out of primarily recycled parts. Each trailer will be fine tuned to the student’s needs; for example, carrying groceries or hauling landscaping tools. We’ll start with a survey of different _trailer designs, discussing the pros and cons of each type, and work together to help each student determine the best design for their needs. Then we’ll hit the scrap pile and find used wheels, forks, and tubing to make the designs a reality. By the end of the class each student should have a functional trailer. This course is for students who have taken one of our other welding courses or who have some previous welding experience. Steel will be provided for practice and exercise, but students must pay for additional steel needed for their personal projects.
