A specific wheel mounting bracket ( 20 ) and a versatile method of using these brackets or similar items to attach bicycle wheels ( 26 ) to various vehicle frames ( 46 ) primarily made of wood, and a general vehicle structure or frame design using the brackets. The brackets ( 20 ) are flat 10-gauge steel plates, with three bolt holes ( 30 ) and a slot ( 32 ) to receive the bicycle wheel axle ( 24 ). When bolted to a simple wooden frame ( 46 ) in pairs, they act like a bicycle fork to hold the wheel ( 26 ). They support and suspend the wheels from longitudinal members ( 22 ) of the structure or frame so that the wheels can rotate. The invention provides a standardized, simple and low-cost method for constructing a wide variety of wagons, carts, small trailers, carriages, wheelbarrows and other small vehicles with bicycle wheels and wood. It enables people who do not have complex tools, skills or materials, to construct and repair various homemade vehicles. This invention makes it possible to use discarded bicycle wheels and scrap lumber to construct carts and wagons. It will help self-sufficient farmers and other people engaged in small-scale agriculture and commerce, worldwide.
