We love cargo bikes. The way they transform your life – making the school run, big shop, or impromptu picnic feel effortless. But let’s be honest: they’re not cheap. Nor are they easy to store in the kinds of homes and flats many of us live in.So, inspired by the creations of Heath Robinson, we decided to build our own cargo trailer. Our aim? To create something big enough to carry serious stuff, easy to store when not in use – and ideally, something that doesn’t scream “steal me” to opportunistic thieves. Enter the wheelie bin trailer.

Cheap, flimsy, and aesthetically uninspiring, they’re usually very quickly removed and forgotten. Yet, a well-designed bell is not just a legal box to tick; it’s a useful tool to give pedestrians and fellow riders a polite heads-up.

Officially, they house all manner of mysterious infrastructure – cables, pipes, the dreams of long-forgotten transport ministers. Unofficially? Well, it turns out some of them are hiding an altogether more interesting secret.
