Makes trips to the store (hardware store, Walmart, etc.), the park or the beach a little more economical...and fun too! ;D  Really gets the attention also.  ;)  In this case, went to the local Walmart to pick-up a couple of Adirondack chairs for the patio.

I purchased a bicycle kid-hauling trailer at Walmart a while back, removed the kid-hauling hardware and installed a homemade flatbed with some hooks on it so I could strap-down my cargo.  I use it for lightweight, short-distance (say 3-5 miles, at the most) hauling.  I imagine I could pull it further, if I needed to do so.  I try not to go faster than 30-35 mph with it though.  It's just an in-and-around-town "utility" trailer for me.  It works like a champ!  I believe you can buy upgraded wheels and tires for it too, if you want something a little more heavy duty.

Nice idea and execution. There's no legal restrictions in your state I'm guessing? I know PA requires lights on trailers.
