First of all, the only grass I can put my feet in-without upsetting a home owner-is the park 4 blocks down the street. It \u00a0would be a wonderful place if only I could cook a hamburger there. For some reason the city of Brookline, MA doesn&#8217;t want me &#8220;eating good in their neighborhood&#8221;. I will say, I wouldn&#8217;t mind going a little further to enjoy some chard meat in a public place but public grills are very few and far between these days. I say that now, but even if I knew of a grill 2 miles away I would still have to cart a case of raw meat and condiments down there in order to have a decent meal.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s our solution; the G-Rilla Bike Trailer. Kim and I built it to solve the city BBQing problem. Much thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.howtofixbikes.ca\/2006\/07\/big-homebuilt-el-cheapo-bicycle-cargo.html\">howtofixbikes.ca<\/a> for their excellent cheap trailer solution.\u00a0We made a few size modifications, hitch improvements, and beefed up the wood from 1&#215;2 to 2&#215;3  to hold the size and weight of the grill and cooler. You can find our hitch solution <a href=\"http:\/\/www.habbyshaw.com\/2010\/07\/bicycle-trailer-hitch\/\">here<\/a>. I highly recommend this build, it has come in handy on many occasions.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.habbyshaw.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/4837900666_16009a23a0_o.jpg\" class=\"flickr-migrated\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:100%;height:auto;display:block\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.habbyshaw.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/4837900928_5353c1c77c_o-scaled.jpg\" class=\"flickr-migrated\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:100%;height:auto;display:block\" \/>      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s amazing what people will do for a BBQ.
