Or, rather, having a full-time job has occupied a great deal of my time.

It was one way in which I gave myself a bit of external motivation to actually fix the flat tire and put this thing on the road.

Realistically, the project is not complete until the trailer is towed behind the bike or bikes successfully. But, from the perspective of fabricating the beast, it&#8217;s over. Mounting the wheel brackets and the wheels proved mostly painless, although alignment is not perfect.
