Difficult Times — Helsinki to Turku 01.07.-06.07.2024

i think we like to keep it fresh and lighthearted here on the blog. and it’s true that even the more difficult periods of ecotopia are aften funny or at least make a good story when you look back at them. to quote a good ol’ proverb: bad news make a good story. but let’s not make it sound prettier than it was this time. the first two cycling days were HARD, chaotic and utterly exhausting. one person had a bad bicycle accident in helsinki on the day before we started and looked r o u g h, wounds and…

TeleGram channel of Ecotopia

Hey, so there it is, better late than never maybe. In the future it might get multi-lingual t.me/EBTecotopiabiketour This channel is notoriously late, chaotic, neglected. It’s actually better to come check out than to read. Smtms we don’t have enough internets (or electricity), sometimes too much of it, and anyway it’s mostly meant as ‘counter’ to ‘social’ media.

Finding Solace in Solis — Helsinki 25.06.-01.07.2024

i feel as though my brain cells are rotting and expanding at the same time. the crew we have and the company we keep know how to get things done, are nerds in various topics, and together our skills are (almost) endless. but we do not forget to also have fun and laugh and to communicate across culture and language our weird senses of humour. in the north of helsinki we were greeted so warmly and with such hospitality by some of the people from solis who generously hosted us in their garden for a week. we were fed fresh…

challenging white ecotopia

dear ecotopians — especially dear black, brown, indigenous, asian and migrantized ecotopians, —- for a long time the ecotopia biketour has been quite the white environment and it mostly is that way still. this doesn’t mean that no BBIPoC or migrantized people have joined ecotopia in the past or have been/are part of the tour and orga, of course. but they have usually been a minority or even just a single person. some of our PoC friends feebacked that they were hesitant to join or didn’t come to the biketour because our group was so white. we would like to…
