Great Bike Projects - Lights, Trailers, etc @ Instructables.com

[Jay Walker]

I like this site very much, having seen it here, and thought it deserved its own thread.

Instructables.com has some great bike projects, on the cheap. A few I really like:

• A truly powerful bike light for under $20 (check out the video)

• Easy bike trailer http://www.instructables.com/id/bike-trailer/
• Strong bike trailer http://www.instructables.com/id/Bicycle-cargo-trailer--200-lb-capacity%2c-%2430-for-pa/
• The mother of all bike trailers - the big cargo hauler http://www.instructables.com/id/Cargo-Trailer-for-Bicycle/

Does anyone else have any favourites they've seen here?

When an instructable starts with "Find the parts
go to the dump, search craigslist, or go to goodwill. theres lots of good places to look for parts." You know it's worth reading.

That site rules.

Did your kid out grow his bike?

Is he bugging you for another one?

Don't let him win!
