Under Construction: Kayak trailer for my bike



What you are looking at is the work in process kayak trailer for my bike. The most difficult part that I am currently working on is the means to attach it to my bike in such a manner that it will be able to withstand long trips and to keep it away from the tire.

Here is another picture of the frame.

Simple Design, Yet Effective

From time to time I have been using my Grand Prix to carry my kayak. Granted, I prefer to use my Honda Odyssey, but I can't have that all of the time. When I do use the Grand Prix, I will put my "Rope Bumpers" on the kayak so it will not scratch up the car.

It's a very simple design with only two parts.
Parts:
1) Half of a Swimming Noodle
2) Short Piece of Rope

Instructions:
1) Cut the swimming noodle in half.
2) Take a short piece of rope and fish it through the noodle.
3) Place the noodle on the highest part of the kayak and wrap the rope around the kayak and tie it.
4) Do the same for the other half.
