The Ecotopia Biketour – the project for everyone interested in do-it-yourself (”diy”) environmentalism, culture, nature, community life and the art of travelling without engines – the exact opposite of an all-inclusive flight to the beach!
Moving all our stuff by sheer pedal power, we create an eco-mobile community building up strong connections between participants coming from different cultures and groups, as well as between ourselves and our hosts.
In the summer of 2009 we cycled through Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.
Right now we are planning and organising the 2010 tour – we will start in the UK, visiting the Towards Carfree Cities Conference IX in York at the end of June, before 2-3 weeks of cycling in the UK and then onto continental Europe for several more weeks riding and visiting camps & projects. We will be opening the application process to join the 2010 tour in April/May.
Where will go exactly? We haven’t decided yet – so why don’t you get involved in helping to organise the tour? Contact us, or contribute to the prepatory process on the Organise BT 2010 Wiki. We would love to hear any of your suggestions of places to visit (or avoid!), people to meet, camps or actions to join, in the UK, France, Germany, Belgium & Netherlands and around.
