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.

Participation Guidelines

Sorry, this entry is only available in English and Castellano. For the sake of viewer convenience, the content is shown below in this site default language. You may click one of the links to switch the site language to another available language.

Because we all have different visions of life and diverse personalities, Ecotopia Biketour has developed a set of basic values which helps all of us to create similar expectations from this project.

> 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.
> online-tools
> 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.
