Cita Abra, el viejo molino

Cita Abra es un proyecto naciente, es un molino de agua en construcción, en reconstrucción, en transformación… su estructura y su infra permiten albergar actividades y gente: grupos, compañías, colectivos, y biketours :) Por él fluye el agua, generando energía, lo que explica las incontables lámparas encendidas que nos esperaban en cada uno de esos oscuros y espaciosos cuartos de gruesos muros. (Mi favorita es la del baño, que misteriosamente siempre está desocupado cuando lo necesito, a pesar de que somos 14 ahora: el exacto doble de lxs que fuimos en Bielorusia). Cita Abra nació en un sueño, que Peteris…

What follows is an account of my first few days cycling with the bike tour. After the stress of hauling a bike across Europe finding three scruffy looking cyclists stood by some trees in Palanga was a joy and the question ‘shall we cycle’ only had one…

You may click the link to switch the active language. From Kaunas, the biketour cycled for 5 days to reach the Curonian Spit, a long piece of land that starts in Kaliningrad (Russia) and streches for 100km in the ocean next to Lithuania, where you have to get a ferry back to Klaipeda on mainland Lithuania. We took the ferry to Nida (again, some kind of a puzzle in which we had to fit 14 bikes,…

Cycling along Nemunas

Disculpa, pero esta entrada está disponible sólo en English. For the sake of viewer convenience, the content is shown below in the alternative language. You may click the link to switch the active language. From Kaunas we had several days to cycle along the Nemunas river to the coast. We camped on some beautiful beaches on the way. From Kaunas, a perfect bike path led us out of the city for about 20 km. We didn’t meet a single person on the way, and no one in Kaunas seemed to know about this path. Eventually, the bike path turned into…

Biketour in Kaunas

Disculpa, pero esta entrada está disponible sólo en English. For the sake of viewer convenience, the content is shown below in the alternative language. You may click the link to switch the active language. From SapfoFest it was just one short day to cycle to Kaunas. On Sapfo we had already met a lot of people from Kaunas, and it turns out there is a lot going on in that city! We had been given a free campsite for two nights, which turned out to be a bit of field behind the official campervan site, underneath a busy motorway, but…

You may click the link to switch the active language. Two days cycling from Vilnius, we reached Žeimiai Manor House, location of Sapfo fest, the first fixed date that we made in the biketour calander when we were planning biketour 2016. Sapfo-fest is the first independent community-initiated Festival in the Baltics, which seeks to connect and empower the queer community, fight prejudice and discrimination, as well as increase awareness and visibility of queers in Lithuania and the…

Biketour in Vilnius

You may click the link to switch the active language. Next, to Vilnius. Back to cycling (legally..) on the roads! We first camped in the back of park in the centre, but it was quite exposed – it was below a tourist viewpoint, and now the scruffy cyclists with their tents, small dog, and giant pots were the newest tourist interest. We also got woken up by Italian segway tour guides with megaphones. The next day, whilst…
