Cyklojízda Ekotopie je samoorganizované, mezinárodní společenství, které už od roku 1990 organizuje cyklojízdy různými částmi Evropy. Během putování navštěvujeme různé enviromentální i sociální projekty a praktikujeme způsoby aktivismu a udržitelného způsobu života. Dodržujeme zásady veganství, zkoušíme konsensuální způsob rozhodování a podporujeme sdílení dovedností. Ecotopia Biketour je pro každého, kdo se zajímá o cestování na kole, komunitní život, DIY, enviromentalismus a osobní růst na základě zkušeností.

> awareness

Self-Organisation

As we oppose any leadership or hierachical structures, the Biketour is organised in an open way where everyone can be a part of.
> how it’s prepared
> consensus
> circles

Online Tools

We try to use free and open-source software as much as possible in the preparation process. The same goes for sharing photos and videos in the group.

> photo-sharing

On the road

Everyone should be able to cycle with the Biketour. Therefore we keep distances low and have scouts going ahead who mark the route. Everyone can follow the signs on their own level of speed. Any tasks like scouting, cooking or pulling a trailer are shared.

> wildcamping

Food

All communal food on Biketour is vegan and cooked with wood on our mobile rocket stove.
Whenever it’s possible we go dumpster-diving and buy food from local farmers and small shops.

Activities

We plan and make many activities on the tour: skill-sharing, helping at projects, joining actions and protests, bike-fixing and other events.

Next weekend from 6th to 7th of February at Mainz we are having a Biketour preparation winter meeting. Laura, Moritz, Yolanda, Sapi, Milan… and I don’t how much people will gather there to start the preparation of this year Biketour 2010. But more important is that those who will not be able to come give their ideas as the input for the brainstorming about many issues which are essential for the preparation of Biketour 2010.
