After Malmö, we cycled 60km slightly inland to a forest garden near Höör. The forest garden is an example of an edible eco-system with a wide variety of trees and plants. It is also used as an educational tool, and the mainly volunteer run group also offer courses and hand craft projects. The project has been running for eleven years and aims to have more traditional interactions with nature. It…

In Malmö we were invited to stay by Kontrapunkt  (http://www.kontrapunktmalmo.net/) – a counter culture group who were running many different projects from a workshop space and social centre.

But we discovered that the place…

Strudel Apollo joined the Ecotopia Bike Tour on August 18th.  This 2 week old orphan kitten stole our hearts immediately. We decided to help this cat-like fellow, descendent of Alexander the Great, and find for him a new family. With a surprisingly uncanny resemblance to his adoptive mother: big, beautiful, eyeliner eyes and bowed back legs that made him waddle in a cute way, it was hard not to like him. Since the beginning he proved to be a very curious and courageous cat. He got along with everybody very easily and he even won the cat-haters around. This 2.5…

Three years in a row I celebrated my birthday among the Biketour crowd. It started in 2012 when I had just joined for the first time a week before my birthday and was surprised with a polenta cake on a wildcamping day (thank you Emma!). This year it was even more special. Being involved in the coordination I could influence where we were going to be on the…
