Hey people, Jenny here, I forward you a message from annaobst(a)gmx.de .
"Hejhej to everyone (hope this massages are going to everyone, who
attended in the biketour.
The biketour of this year wanted to make the library smaler, that they
carry with them.
For now I have the circle books of the year 2018 and 2019 und Berlin.
If people are interested to have and keep them, I am happy to send them
somewhere. Otherwise I will keep them for a while and if I need more
space to give it to the recycling ;)
Hope you get this massage - because I like to write simple stuff a bit
complicated hehe.
Good bike and see you on the road!
Lingelingeling ;)"
Hello everybody
We received a nice mail with an invitation for a biketour in the
beginning of July along the Rhine between France and Germany. I would
like to share it with you:
French-German committed bike trip "Tour du Rh(e)in": join us from July
5-15, 2022! - You want to be on the road with young people (18-30 years
old) living in Germany and France in the summer of 2022? You've always
wanted to explore the Rhine Valley or want to get involved with
sustainable alternative initiatives? 400 km in 10 days seems like a
pretty good distance to you?
The Tour du Rh(e)in is an engaging, transcultural, participatory and
inspiring bike trip for young adults. Through this collective bike trip
we want to : share, learn through the collective, promote a more
meaningful way of living, realize our longing for a more positive and
inspiring world through action. Together we want to create the tour and
ride from July 5 - 15, 2022 along the Rhine River on the French-German
border between Freiburg and Strasbourg. We will discover collective
places and initiatives as well as cities on both sides and also take
action ourselves to have a positive impact on these places. We will stay
close to nature, at initiatives or at campsites. In short, the Tour du
Rh(e)in means crossing borders and getting active in a group by bike. It
is meant to be a space for collective experimentation, opening the field
of possibilities. Your ideas and wishes are more than welcome and we are
looking forward to you! The project is organized by two associations for
political education, Bapob e.V. and Les Balladin.es and we will
interpret throughout in German and French. In total, the participation
fee is between 150€ to 200€ according to self-assessment. Solidarity
contribution 75€. Included are accommodation, meals, travel expenses and
program. More information on request. If interested, contact us at:
audrey.houillon(a)gmail.com or nolwenn_talec(a)posteo.de
Audrey for the bapob e.V.

All the best wishes you, Falda from the biketour collective
Ecotopia Biketour is a self-organised, international community that has been organizing an annual bicycle tour in different regions of Europe since 1990. During the tour we visit environmental and social projects and practice forms of activism and sustainable living. We cook communal vegan food, practice consensus decision making, and share skills by doing workshops. Ecotopia Biketour is for anyone interested in traveling by bike, community life, DIY, an ecological lifestyle, and/or learning by experience. If this sounds good to you, feel welcome to join us!
The start of the tour (the first 3 weeks, 3rd to 24th July) will be reserved for LGBTQIA+ and FLINTA . Please see more about this below.
We are usually a group of 20–40 cyclists. Most people join for between 2 weeks and 2 months and are participating for the first time. We rarely cycle all together; some people go ahead in the morning and mark the route with arrows on the road. People then follow in small groups at their own speed and rhythm. We support each other and keep distances at a level that everybody and everybike can manage. Don’t worry if you have never travelled by bike before.
We attempt for a non-hierarchical environment by rotating responsibilities, sharing skills and respecting personal needs. People can sign up for daily tasks (cooking, pulling a trailer, marking the route, etc.), but everyone can decide individually how much they want to do. We gather as a group in a circle every few days to talk about how everything is going and to collectively make decisions. We aim to create a non-discriminatory environment, where discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation, class, race, age, ability or religion is not tolerated.
We cook communally with portable stoves, carry all our equipment ourselves, try to buy local and organic food, and we dumpster-dive where possible. We suggest a donation of 3–5 € per day to cover food costs, but people who cannot give this donation are also welcome to join.
In 2022 we will be cycling for 3 months in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France. We will start on the 3rd of July in Amsterdam with one week of preparation camp. Then we cycle south towards Marseille and spend the last weeks along one of the most beautiful coasts of the Mediterranean Sea. A detailed plan with what projects and festivals we'll visit can be found on our website.
As mentioned above, the beginning of the tour (3rd to 24th July) will be a tour for FLINTA and LGBTQIA+, while hetero cis men are asked not to join this part of the tour. This way we hope to achieve a fun and empowering Biketour experience that avoids one-sided cis hetero masculinity. Also the idea is to develop the collective to make it more equally organised and inclusive towards people of different gender identities and sexual orientations, instead of the imbalance in favour of hetero cis men, which has been a pattern on the tour and the orga the last years.
To explain the abbreviations: FLINTA stands for Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Non-binary, Transgender and Agender. LGBTQIA+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual and those whose identity and orientation is not accurately captured by those mentioned before (+).
If you want to join us, find more details and a registration form on our website. If you have some questions or have recommendations for projects, groups and events for us to visit on the way or would like to help preparing the tour, please write to info(a)ecotopiabiketour.net or join our mailing list on our website.
We hope to see you on the tour :)

Call-out for projects 2022
Hello everyone! A routedecision has been made for next year’s biketour
and we are really excited to announce it to you!
Ecotopia Biketour 2022 will start in the beginning of July in Amsterdam

Hope to see you in Greene and/or on the Tour this Summer :)
Falda for the Ecotopia Biketour Collective
Helllo everyone!
I am need of an anonymous simcard. It is important that it can be
recharged without being in the country where it was bought. (but it
would be possible to buy recharges in andvance and activate them from
abroad)
Maybe you have any advice in which country this is possible?
So far I know that in france lycamobil is good, just that you have to
make a phonecall for each one and it is not always working, in czech
republlic there is the ones from tesco but recharge is trouble.
sorry for the off-topic but it is for an important issue ;)
good bike, L

Ecotopia Biketour ist eine selbstorganisierte internationale Community,
die seit 1990 eine jährliche Fahrradtour durch Europa organisiert. Auf
der Tour werden soziale und ökologische Projekte besucht und
verschiedene Arten von Aktivismus und nachhaltigem Zusammenleben
praktiziert. Wir ernähren uns vegan, treffen Entscheidungen per Konsens
und versuchen, unser Wissen zu teilen. Die Biketour ist für alle, die am
Fahrradfahren, gemeinschaftlichen Zusammenleben, Selbstorganisation,
Nachhaltigkeit und praktischen Lernen interessiert sind.
Normalerweise fahren 20–40 Leute gleichzeitig mit, die meisten bleiben
für 2 Wochen bis 2 Monate und sind zum ersten oder zweiten Mal dabei.
Wir fahren fast nie als geschlossene Gruppe, sondern ein paar fahren
morgens voraus und markieren die Route mit Pfeilen auf der Straße. So
können alle in ihrem eigenen Tempo fahren und entscheiden, ob sie
Gesellschaft haben möchten oder nicht. Die Entfernungen werden gering
gehalten und sind auch ohne vorheriges regelmäßiges Sporttreiben
machbar.
Wir versuchen, Hierarchien zu bekämpfen, indem wir Verantwortlichkeiten
rotieren, Wissen austauschen und persönliche Bedürfnisse
berücksichtigen. Aufgaben (Kochen, Anhänger ziehen, Route markieren
etc.) können und sollen freiwillig übernommen werden. Alle paar Tage
machen wir Plenum, um uns auszutauschen und Entscheidungen zu treffen.
Wir streben ein nicht-diskriminatorisches Umfeld an und tolerieren keine
Diskriminierung aufgrund von Geschlechts- und sexueller Orientierung,
Rassismus, Klassismus, Behinderungen jeglicher Art, Alter oder Religion.
Wir transportieren unsere Töpfe auf Fahrradanhängern, kochen mit Holz
und versuchen, regional und bio zu kaufen und zu containern, wo es
möglich ist. Es wird empfohlen, 3–5 € pro Tag für Lebensmittel
beizusteuern, dieser Beitrag ist aber freiwillig.
Im Jahr 2021 starten wir in Tschechien und für 2½ Monate radeln durch
Österreich, Slowenien und enden die Tour in Kroatien. Wir treffen uns am
9. Juli nördlich von Prag für ein einwöchentliches Vorbereitungscamp und
fahren gemeinsam südlicher Richtung nach Linz zum Cyclocamp (30. Juli -
8. August). Danach mäandern wir östlicher Richtung der Donau entlang
nach Wien. Von dort aus fahren wir nach Graz, bestaunen die Alpen auf
dem Weg, und rollen weiter nach Süden Richtung Ljubljana und Zagreb. Die
Tour endet gemütlich am Adriatischen Meer in Kroatien für eine letzte
Abkühlung.
Falls ihr Empfehlungen für Projekte, Gruppen und Ereignisse habt, die
wir auf dem Weg besuchen sollten, oder wenn ihr mithelfen wollt, die
Tour vorzubereiten, schreibt uns an 2021(a)ecotopiabiketour.net oder tragt

Le cyclo-tour Ecotopia est un tour à vélo autogéré organisé depuis 1990
chaque année par un collectif international à travers l'Europe. Pendant
le cyclo-tour, nous visitons des projets écologiques et sociaux, et
participons à des activités militantes et respectueuses de
l'environnement. Nous cuisinons de la nourriture vegan, les décisions se
font au consensus et nous souhaitons autant que possible organiser des
ateliers de transmissions de compétences. Le cyclo-tour Ecotopia
s'adresse à quiconque est interessé.e par l'idée de voyager à vélo,
vivre en communauté, bricoler/DIY, se poser des questions sur l'écologie
et apprendre par l'expérience. Si ces sujets te parlent, nous t'invitons
à nous rejoindre!
Le groupe est généralement constitué de 20 à 40 cyclistes. La plupart
participent entre 2 semaines et 2 mois, et c'est souvent leur première
ou deuxième fois. Nous voyageons rarement tou.tes ensemble, certain.e.s
d'entre nous partent tôt le matin et flèchent la route à la craie. Les
autres suivent ensuite en petits groupes à leur propre rythme. Chaque
étape est calculée afin que tout le monde puisse suivre avec n'importe
quel type de vélo. Ne t'inqiéte pas si tu n'as jamais voyagé à vélo
auparavant.
Nous essayons de créer un environnement autogéré, c'est-à-dire sans
hiérarchie, en faisant tourner les responsabilités, partageant nos
savoirs et en respectant les besoins individuels. Chacun.e peut
s'inscrire pour les tâches quotidiennes (faire la cuisine, rouler avec
une remorque, flécher la route, etc) mais chacun.e est libre de décider
personnellement la mesure de sa contribution. Tous les 2-3 jours, nous
nous réunions en cercle pour discuter de comment le voyage se passe ,
faire un tour des ressentis et prendre des décisions collectivement.
Nous souhaitons créer un environnement non discriminant, où la
LGBTQIA+phobie, le sexisme, le racisme, le classisme, le validisme, les
discriminations liées à la religion et toutes autres formes de
discriminations ne sont pas tolérées.
Nous cuisinons ensemble sur des réchauds à bois, portons tous notre
équipement et essayons autant que possible d'acheter de la nourriture
bio et/ou locale et de faire de la récup'. Nous encourageons une
participation à prix libre à la hauteur de 3 à 5 euros par jour,
chacun.e selon ses moyens, si quelqu'un.e ne peut pas participer il.le
est également bienvenu.e.
En 2021 nous voyagerons pour 2½ mois en Tchéquie, Autriche, Slovénie et
Croatie. Nous commencerons le voyage le 9 juillet dans le nord de Prague
et roulerons vers le Sud jusqu'à Linz pour rejoindre le festival de vélo
Cyclocamp (du 30 juillet au 8 août). Nous irons ensuite à l'Est vers
Vienne, puis nous continuerons vers le Sud, en longeant les Alpes et en
passant par Graz et Ljubljana. Nous visiterons ensuite Zagreb pour
finalement aller vers l'Ouest, rejoindre la méditerannée et clore le
voyage les pieds dans l'eau.
Si tu as des questions ou des recommendations pour des projets, des
groupes ou des événements à visiter sur le chemin, ou si tu veux aider à
l'organisation du tour, merci d'écrire à 2021(a)ecotopiabiketour.net ou de

*Italiano*
L’Ecotopia Biketour è una comunità internazionale auto-organizzata che
organizza ogni anno dal 1990 un giro in bicicletta in diverse regioni
d'Europa. Durante il viaggio visitiamo progetti ambientali e sociali,
praticando forme di attivismo e stili di vita sostenibili. Seguiamo una
dieta vegana, prendiamo decisioni per consenso e incoraggiamo la
condivisione interpersonale. L’Ecotopia Biketour è aperto a chiunque sia
interessato a viaggiare in bicicletta, alla vita in comunità,
all'autonomia e all'autosufficienza (fai da te), all’ambientalismo e ad
imparare nuove cose.
Di solito 20-40 persone pedalano con noi. Gran parte di loro si
aggregano in qualche punto del tragitto per periodi dalle due settimane
ai due mesi, partecipando al Biketour per la prima o seconda volta.
Raramente pedaliamo tutti insieme: solitamente qualcuno va avanti al
mattino e fa da apripista per gli altri, lasciando segni sulla strada.
Gli altri quindi proseguono in piccoli gruppi al proprio ritmo e
velocità. Copriamo ogni giorno distanze per le quali non sono necessarie
una particolare esperienza o condizione fisica.
Cerchiamo di creare un ambiente non gerarchico facendo ruotare le
responsabilità, condividendo le abilità e rispettando i bisogni
personali. Ognuno può proporsi per compiti quotidiani (cucinare,
trainare un rimorchio, fare da apripista, ecc…), ma chiunque è libero
di decidere individualmente quanto vuole contribuire. Ci riuniamo ogni
due giorni per parlare dell'andamento del viaggio e per prendere
decisioni sulla base del consenso. Uno dei nostri principi fondamentali
è costruire un ambiente accogliente per tutti, dove la discriminazione
basata su genere o orientamento sessuale, classe, origini, età,
disabilità o religione non è tollerata.
Cuciniamo sempre tutti insieme con la legna, trasportiamo tutto il
nostro equipaggiamento e cerchiamo di comprare cibo locale e biologico e
di fare dumpster-diving laddove possibile. Ai partecipanti si chiede un
contributo di 3-5 euro al giorno per coprire le spese per il cibo, ma
anche quanti non sono in grado di fare donazioni sono invitati a
partecipare.
Quest’anno viaggeremo per 2½ mesi in Repubblica Ceca, Austria, Slovenia
e Croazia. Ci troveremo il 9 luglio a nord di Praga per una settimana di
preparativi; pedaleremo a sud verso Linz per partecipare al bike
festival Cyclocamp (30 luglio – 8 agosto) poi a est incrociando il
Danubio, verso Vienna. Continueremo a sud, ammirando le Alpi, passando
per Graz, Lubiana, Zagreb, infine a ovest verso l’Adriatico per un bagno
conclusivo.

progetti, delle comunità o degli eventi presenti sul percorso, scrivici

Ecotopia Biketour je samostatne organizovaná medzinárodná komunita,
ktorá od roku 1990 každé leto organizuje cyklotúru v rôznych častiach
Európy. Počas týchto túr navštevujeme rôzne environmentálne a sociálne
projekty, aktivizujeme sa a žijeme udržateľným spôsobom života. Varíme
spoločnú veganskú stravu, robíme rozhodnutia na základe spoločného
konsenzu a zdieľame naše zručnosti cez workshopy. Ecotopia Biketour je
pre každého, kto sa zaujíma o cestovanie na bicykli, komunitný život,
DIY, ekologický životný štýl a/alebo osobný rast na základe skúseností.
Ak sa ti to páčí, neváhaj sa k nám pridať!
Zvyčajne je nás v skupine 20-40. Väčšina ľudí sa pridáva na dobu od 2
týždňov až po 2 mesiace a zúčastňuje sa po prvý raz. Málekedy
bicyklujeme všetci spolu. Niektorí ľudia idú napred už skoro ráno a
značia šípkami spoločnú trasu. Ostatní ich neskôr nasledujú vlastným
tempom. Vzájomne si pomáhame a robíme také vzdialenosti, ktoré dokáže
zvládnuť každý človek a každý bicykel. Ak cestuješ na bicykli po prvý
raz, nemusíš sa báť!
Snažíme sa o vytvorenie prostredia bez hierachického usporiadania
striedaním povinností, zdieľaním zručností a rešpektovaním osobných
potrieb. Ľudia sa môžu prihlásiť na denné úlohy (varenie, ťahanie
cykloprívesu, značenie cesty, atď.), ale je na každého osobnom zvážení,
na koľko sa chce podieľať. Niekoľko krát do týždňa sa spolu zídeme,
rozpŕavame sa o túre a robíme kolektívne rozhodnutia. Naším cieľom je
vytvoriť prostredie, kde diskriminácia na základe vnímaného alebo
skutočného rodu či sexuálnej orientácie, triedy, rasy, veku, schopností
alebo vierovyznania nie je tolerovaná.
Varíme spoločne na mobilných pieckach "rocket stove", vezieme kolektívnu
výbavu a snažíme sa nakupovať potraviny od miestnych alebo bio výrobcov
alebo ich hľadáme v kontajneroch (dumpster diving), ak je to možné. Od
účastníkov pýtame dobrovoľný denný príspevok 3-5 € na pokrytie
spoločných výdavkov, ale aj ľudia ktorí si to nemôžu dovoliť, sú u nás
vítaní.
V roku 2021 budeme bicyklovať 2½ mesiaca v Českej republike, Rakúsku,
Slovinsku a Chorvátsku. Začneme 9. júla severne od Prahy jednotýždenným
prípravným táborom a potom sa vydáme južne smerom k Linzu, kde sa
zúčastníme cyklofestivalu Cyclocamp (30. júl - 8. august). Odtiaľ
pôjdeme na východ krížom krážom popri Dunaji smerom do Viedne. Kochajúc
sa pohorím Álp pôjdeme ďalej na juh, kde cestou navštívime Graz, Ľubľanu
a Zagreb. Eventuélne na bicykloch donavigujeme k pobrežiu a zaplávame si
v Jadranskom mori.
Ak máš nejaké otázky alebo tipy na zaujímavé miesta, projekty a
udalosti, ktoré by sme mohli navštíviť počas našej túry, alebo ak sa
chceš zapojiť do organizácie, prosím napíš nám na

אקוטופיה בייקטור היא קהילה מאורגנת בין לאומית המארגנת מסע אופניים שנתי
באיזורים שונים באירופיה מאז 1990. במהלך המסע אנו מבקרים פרוייקטים
סביבתיים-חברתיים ומתרגלים צורות שונות של אקטיביזם וקיימות. אנו מבשלים
אוכל טבעוני, מתרגלים קבלת החלטות בקונצנזוס וחולקים מיומנויות על ידי
סדנאות. אקוטופיה בייקטור היא בשביל כל אחד המעוניין בטיול אופניים, חיי
קהילה, "עשה זאת בעצמך" אורח חיים אקולוגי ו/או ללמוד מתוך התנסות. אם זה
נשמע לך טוב, תרגיש חופשי להצטרך אלינו!
אנחנו בדרך כלל קבוצה של 20-40 רוכבים, רובם משתתפים חדשים המצטרפים
לשבועיים עד חודשיים. לרוב, איננו רוכבים ביחד, חלק מהאנשים יוצאים בבוקר
לסמן את הדרך בחיצים על הכביש. שאר האנשים עוקבים בקבוצות קטנות במהירות
ובקצב האישי שלהם. אנחנו תומכים אחד בשני ומשאירים את המרחק ברמה שכל אחד
וכל אופניים יכולים לשאת. אל תדאג.י אם מעולם לא טיילת על אופניים לפני כן.
אנחנו מנסים ליצור סביבה נטולת היררכיה על ידי חלוקת אחריות מתחלפת, שיתוף
ידע וכיבוד צרכים אישיים. אנשים יכולים להירשם למשימות יומיות (בישול,
נשיאת טריילרים, סימון הדרך וכו'), אבל כל אחד יכול להחליט באופן אישי כמה
להשתתף. אנחנו מתכנסים כקבוצה במעגל כל כמה ימים לשתף איך הולך ולקבל
החלטות קבוצתיות. אחד מערכי הבסיס שלנו זה ליצור סביבה ללא אפליה. תפיסות
מוטות מגדר, מין, מעמד, גזע, גיל, יכולת או דת לא ייתקבלו בברכה.
אנו מבשלים על ידי גזיות ניידות, לוקחים את כל הציוד בעצמנו, מנסים לקנות
אוכל אורגני ומקומי; ומצילים אוכל מפחים בכל הזדמנות אפשרית. אנחנו ממליצים
לתרום 3-5 יורו ליום (12-20 שקלים) לכסות הוצאות של אוכל, אבל אנשים שלא
יכולים לתרום מוזמנים להצטרף בכל זאת.
השנה נרכב בצ'כיה, אוסטריה, סלובניה וקרואטיה מתחילת יולי עד סוף ספטמבר.
נתחיל ב-9.7 צפונית לפראג ונרכב דרומה ללינץ (אוסטריה), שם נצטרף לפסטיבל
אופניים בינלאומי - Cyclocamp (30.7-8.8). משם נמשיך מזרחה לכיוון וינה.
לאחר מכן דרומה, נחצה את הגבול עם האלפים, נבקר בגראץ, נמשיך ללובליאנה
ומשם מזרחה לזאגרב. בהמשך נפנה מערב ונרכב אל עבר הים התיכון לטבילה
אחרונה.
אם יש לכם שאלות או המלצות לפרוייקטים, קבוצות ואירועים שנוכל לבקר על הדרך
