I am trying to get ideas on what type of cart to make to pull behind a bicycle. I will be moving to the keys and around there a bike might be easier to get around, so I can just pull a cart or something behind the bike that can hold a cooler and rods and what not. Any pics or ideas would be cool.

To safeguard your precious cargo this might work with the carts mentioned above.
Another position for a baby seat that'll free up the rear.:

Or for your gear this might work. Looks like it won't obstruct the child seat. Looks to hook up on the frame.

Hey Digger didn't I have to make ya a new bike attachment bar for your cart because the old one was so thin it broke? Yea I know I am getting old and my memory is shot but I know I have had to make 1 or 2 due to them bars being so thin they break easy.

No you did not make it. They sent me a upgraded one for free, this sucker has a solid piece in the center. There will be no problem with the slower types with the basic one. 15-20 MPH for 10-12 miles and a loaded cart is allot of strain. Keeping the wheels lubed is a PITA with what I was doing. Got to love the blue stuff.

I made one a few years back from a child carrage that attached to a hitch behind the bike seat. Sorry but never took Pics. But just find a used carrage and a little modifying and you should be Golden. Found mine at a Yard Sale for 20.00$ back then. I have seen were guys have just built an exstended rack on the back using milk crates and PVC and some web straps to secure everything in place.
You should enjoy your time in the Keys a great place.
