Advertising on bicycle trailers...??

[Marky biz]

Hi guys, Just putting this out there to see if there's any advice or info on starting this as a part time business. Basically you buy a trailer of the internet which attaches to your cycle which you then 'sell' as advertising space and cycle around making money??
Just trying to gather info and opinions for now, any of which gratefully received.
Many thanks
Mark.

Are you looking at this from the point of view of you being the earning cyclist, the trailer seller, or the advertising space seller?

Advertising rates for city bike schemes are about £25 per bike, per month so I dont see the earning potential for a singular cyclist if the going rate for a months exposure is just £25 per month. The gig economy cyclist can earn more from Deliveroo, if their intention is to earn whilst cycling.

But hey, thats just my view.

I think you could make a little money form doing this but who will you approach to get the advertising? There are lots of fairly large (20-50 bike/rickshaw) outfits who will already have the contact with the advertising agents.

I have seen literally 4 bike trailers in my life, so this seems a tiny niche. I would not, as a business adviser, think it has any potential at all.

The city centre bike sponsorship schemes have more potential, of course, and are reasonable well established in a number of larger cities already.
