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.

We arrived back to Manchester very cold and confused, but we were picked up straight away by the strength of our cycling community here. The Critical Mass the day after we got…

In the distance we could see the mountain and that were we were heading. Inevitably our final destination required us to scale a massive hill. For ages we climbed and climbed, it seemed to never end. I stopped to…
