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. It’s an excellent example of how real people can find their own economic freedom through doing what they enjoy in spite of a tough economy. Really inspiring story and great bags!
Bicycle Tutor – Learn to repair your post peak oil wheels
Just kidding… ok I’m not kidding… and yes I am a nut, thanks for asking… but in all seriousness this is a great website for learning to fix your bike.

Pedal Powered Innovations by Bart Orlando
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.
also see CARazed.com for electric cars and other post peak oil transportation possibilities.
Center for Appropriate Transport – peddle power resource
Center for Appropriate Transport is a non-profit organization in Eugene Oregon that’s committed to getting people involved with the manufacture ans use of sustainable modes of transportation, yep peddle power folks!
I actually lived in Eugene for about a year in a tiny studio apartment on top of an old house. Eugene is an amazing bike town. My Civic sat parked for months when I lived there. I really only used it to leave town, all other travel was done by bike.
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.
