Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

Everyone's hunkering down waiting for enough snow to hit the pow. Waiting can be hard on us types, so now's the time to plan your winter projects. Those overhauls or builds that will get you through the dark days when you can't ride or do anything else.

Here's a DIY Bike Trailer that's crazy inexpensive (20 bucks!) and will have you touring next summer in ease and style. If you don't have the moola to go out and splurge on a Bob, consider making this your go-to project for a while and have one for less than a few six packs.

Here's another cool example found on SingleWheel.com: photolink

Whatever type of touring you're doing, either on dirt or somewhere in the Netherlands (like the guy above), put some elbow grease down now and build your trailer, so come summer, you're up and riding when it counts.
