Sustainable Swift Industries – more than Handmade Bike Bags
While watching a video on Rowdy Kittens I learned of this little bike bag company in Seattle that makes handmade bike bags.

A reader on Tiny House Design posted a comment with a link to Bart Orlando’s pedal powered innovations up near Humboldt State University. This website is definitely worth spending some time if you was some post peak oil transportation solutions.

Cargo Bike Trailer (for a tiny house?)
I’ve gotten several comments on Tiny House Design in response to my nine square foot house design that ask for a house small enough to be pulled by a bicycle. Well I think I just found the perfect bike trailer for that tiny house concept. It’s a little expensive but it can hold 300 pounds and the bed is 64″ by 27.25″.
I’m not planning on making Nine Tiny Feet a bike trailer house but I am thinking that I should design a tiny house that can be pulled by a bike. I’ve already been trying to figure out a way to build a ultra-lightweight tiny house, but the 300-pound limit is going to be a challenge.
