What do you mean by bike trailer?
Do you want to haul your bicycles out the the BMX track?
Do you want to haul your motorcycles down to Daytona for bike week?
Do you to pull a grocery carrier behind your bicycle?
Do you want to pull a small camper thing behind your motorcycle?

Do you to pull a grocery carrier behind your bicycle? - Yes.

BUT I also want to pull other stuff. I once saw this guy from the Green Party with one. He was carrying around signs and posts on his 'carrier'.

Iwould post a want ad on my local Craigslist and Freecycle for something like this.

That would give you the attachment hardwear, basic frame and wheels.
You can easily strip off the fabric superstructure and build/put any kind of box you want on the bare frame.
