Our Winter Meeting will happen between February 20-23, 2020 in Freiburg. We will decide in which countries (central/southern/southeastern Europe) and which time frame the next tour will happen, discuss our values and how to implement them, create flyers, posters and stickers to advertise the tour, and have fun together! Anyone who is interested in meeting us and finding out how we organise is welcome to join.
If you want to join the meeting, please let us know beforehand by writing to 2020@ecotopiabiketour.net. During the meeting, we will be reachable by phone on this number: +49 157 84844802.
We are looking for interesting projects and events happening in summer 2020 in Central, Southern and Southeastern Europe. Based on the projects we find we will decide the exact region on the meeting in February. Any information is appreciated. Find out more here.
Ecotopía Biketour es una comunidad internacional autogestionada que organiza cada año una ruta en bici en diferentes regiones de Europa desde 1990. Durante la ruta visitamos proyectos sociales y medioambientales y practicamos formas de activismo y vida sostenible. Tenemos una dieta vegana, tomamos las decisiones por consenso y potenciamos el compartir nuestras habilidades. Este es uno de nuestros valores clave para crear un entorno no discriminatorio. Ecotopia Biketour es para todas las personas interesadas en viajar en bicicleta, en vida comunitaria, en autogestión, medioambiente y en aprender desde la propia experiencia.

Ziiiiip, the entrance opens, and the senses marvel. Their ears are glad to hear the voices coming from familiar…
It’s cold and wet
It is said that it is not good to believe in cliches. For this reason we went to check what is said about Scotland. From Edinburgh to Glasgow, we had numerous chances to taste the lovely weather of this amazing country! When it was not raining, we were cycling uphill and downhill over and over again with the wind pushing against our unperturbed smiles.
