There are good ideas, bad ideas, and then there's fucking this 😂

I will do it more properly if it proves usable. Building this, I have run out of flux welding wire so I had to finish it with stick electrode and you can learn a lot when welding with stick. For example, that I really suck at it.

@schmaker rides like heaven. Especially considering how ghetto the whole thing is. The axle is a bit rattly but not too bad for a gate hinge. It even feels deceptively safe

It definitely looks like a well made MadMax-like contraption 😀

I like it

Initially I thought i would just tie the cart to the bike with a wire, but it was extremely flaky. Then I tried one degree of freedom, but that wouldn't work. Now with two axes like this, it is almost like a ball joint. The bike can turn and tilt freely.
