Cart Bike

Combine a derelict shopping cart with a bicycle for a ride with ample cargo capacity.
This is a nice way to save a shopping cart and a bike that might otherwise end up in a landfill. It is quite the head turner but not a good corner turner.

done ;)
Would turning be at all a problem? I mean, it’s hard enough with someone sitting on the handlebars, but with all that excess weight in the cart? Plus cart wheels (especially on “derelict” ones) might not be all that safe/freely turning. Just playing devils advocate here, iron out those kinks and this thing could work.
Fix, as in “make stationary”, the rotating wheel bases. Or put a single one on the bottom-center of the cart. Turning with rotating-base wheels….fursheesh!

Hmm…
Look closely and imagine the physics of this ride. As soon as shopping cart wheelies, man will eat serious
* and visit hospital.
Great idea for deviant behavior.
Reminds me of days of “tray sliding”. Take a honda or other front wheeled drive vehicle. Run to McDonalds and get some trays. Place trays behind back wheels. Pull Parking Brake. Accelerate to 25 mph. Turn Steering wheel.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
hahahhaa, awesome!
Agree with Alex… Silly, going to end in tears …. but we’ve all done it or something like it, why not make money off it for a brief period until you realise that trolley-nabbing is illegal, so even if your gizmo is not, it will be assumed you’re one of the poverty-stricken types who nabs trolleys to wheel your groceries home, in whatever capacity it’ll allow you. Needs clear marking to avoid this … still, I doubt it’ll work to deter most from thinking you’ve simply put decals on your stolen trolley.
Pass.

when did anyone ever find a trolley whos wheels moved in joyful unison? or has this bloke nabbed the only one ever built?
