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.

Please watch out to orient your light in a way that it wont point into your fellow cyclists eyes. That can be very unsettling.
Bike lights often have optics that try to prevent this from happening off course only when properly oriented.
I ride downhill mountain biking at night down super steep trails in the jungle. There is zero risk of another person being on the trail. But for sure do that if you're riding around other people.
Riding that during the day not enough of a thrill anymore? Geebus, I’ve got the heebie jeebies just imagining it.
