Planning has begun!! We had our Winter meeting in December in Freiburg. We decided on a rough region – the biketour will be going through Romania and the surround countries (Bulgaria, maybe Hungary, northern Greece and Serbia). Now we are starting to research projects and figure out the details. The Biketour is self-organised and works because lots of people contribute – if you have some ideas of projects, contacts, know some good cycling routes or anything else relevant – we can be contacted at 2023@ecotopiabiketour.net

From Lyon to La Voulte with a visit to the gorges of the river Doux
Leaving Lyon was more difficult as expected. One of our trailer attachments had broken in half, and a shop selling this piece was not in sight. So some of us went to the construction store in the early morning to find anything that could be useful as a temporary solution, and just when we had succeeded improvising a replacement part, we realised that an important part of the trailer had actually broken apart and needed to be fixed as well. Navigating out of a big city is always difficult, and the Via Rhona long-distance cycle route along the river Rhône…
some thoughts on the LGBTQIA+ & FLINTA start
This year, for the first time on the ecotopia biketour, part of the tour was LGBTQIA+ & FLINTA only (non-mixed, without hetero cis men). For the first 3 weeks of the tour, hetero cis men were not invited to join the tour. The other 9 weeks of the tour are open to all genders and sexual orientations, including hetero cis men. More about the reasons behind this decision are here, but a short summary goal of the would be: An attempt at a creation of a temporary space with less sexism/heterosexism/cissexism, with the hope that it would have a positive…
Self-organised refugee squat, smoothie bike and a huge collection of bike parts in Lyon
We arrived in the evening in Lyon at a squatted Villa in the Sans Souci quarter. There we were greeted by a few of the house’s residents, the majority of which come from Guinea. They have been living in the house for about 3 years. We set up our tents in the garden with the chickens and fell asleep to the noisy city sounds in the background. We woke up refreshed the next morning and had a circle (our word for a meeting) and discussed various topics, including alcohol consumption within the group, what we are doing in Lyon and…
I’m cycling in the rain, just cyclin’ in the rain What a glorious feeling, I’m happy again…
Well despite record temperatures through the regions we were cycling in this year, wildfire risks and general drought, there were still a few days where the skies opened up and blessed us with litres of water over us and our bikes.. I guess after 6 weeks of no rain most of us were not so prepared for rainy days Luckily there was someone from Britain – island of rain and changable weather – to coach us about cycling in the rain. Maybe it’s helpful for other people, meanwhile we didn’t see rain since a few days again.. Cycling and rain…
