Ecotopia Biketour salvó a las bicicletas
Hallada fosa común en Barcelona con 234.576 cadáveres “El Ecotopiabiketour salvó las bicicletas” Venezia 17 de Septiembre 2012 No son víctimas de la guerra civil española. Los restos encontrados en la sierra de Collserola (Barcelona) son mucho más antiguos. Paleontólogos de La Sorbonne los han sometido a las pruebas de carbono-14 y han llegado a la sorprendente conclusión de que remontan 250.000 años atrás, a la época en que se data convencionalmente la aparición del Homo Sapiens. Más sorprendente aún, no se trata de restos humanos sino de esqueletos de… bicicletas. En el límite del Plioceno y del Pleistoceno existió…

I had an amazing time on the bike tour, cycling and living with so many lovely people in this community on wheels was a great experience, and the projects I saw have inspired me.

We’re not quite sure why – the tour goes on for a few more weeks so we must have got our dates wrong!
