A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
I recommend buying a brompton bicycle.
The rack being super low means the distance between the rear rack and the saddle is almost the exact height of a good backpack. IMHO, it's the best way to carry a backpack on a bicycle
Edit: Brompton's small front O-bag is actually made by Ortlieb. I wouldn't recommend their bags as backpack replacements. They work great on bicycles, but not so much on your back (where the weight should actually be on your hips)
