This site was formerly Living Room, but before that, it was The Bike People. We have simply returned to our emphasis on bicycling in the city in the context of cultural, social, and environmental sustainability. All our former content is still available through the article indexes on the left.

No, not modern music, sewing machines. And okay, they are Juki industrial sewing machines, but they are stitching knickers as I write!Our fill-in order of Classic Wool Knickers will be done in time for the second week of June, when we'll begin shipping backorders on a first-come-first-served basis, naturally. So place your orders now to get yours sooner!
Once those are done, we begin production on our long-awaited Hemp City Knickers! They turned out great, and I can't wait to get a pair for myself. (My sample had to go back to the factory as a sewing guide....)
And don't forget--in case you already have a pair of woolies--we are now selling Kookaburra Woolwash, the best laundry soap we've found for not only wool but any other fabric, and it's entirely biodegradable and made in an earth-friendly manner as well. The perfect laundry soap for the conscious commuter. We're trying to get our favorite local dry cleaner to try it out for their wet clean ops, and they are enthusiastic about the idea.
And since you gotta kick back sometime, don't forget our Stainless Steel Insulated Coffee Mug--steel is real, lasts almost forever, and keeps your brew warm--so no energy wasted reheating it! Take it to the coffee house to use in place of those stupid paper cups.
Okay, enough sales pitch for today. Get out and ride!
