What Biketour is
english
intro
The ecotopia biketour is an eco-mobile action community on its way to or from ecotopia. Some 10 to 50 bikers from different backgrounds - nationality, age, language, experience - cycle together towards ecotopia, doing actions on their way and meet up with environmentally minded people and groups. They carry all equipment for camping on their bikes and trailers. It is a totally chaotic tour, with constantly changing sleeping places, group composition and food quality, but with some common things like: consensus based decision making, all tasks divided between the participants, a sleeping place every night and breakfast, lunch and dinner for a participation fee calculated in ecos and collected by sigmund, our magic hat.
sleeping places
The basic BT sleeping place includes some space for tents. As nothing more is really needed, we made the experience that we can organize our sleeping places during the tour, during the day. This is nice sometimes - it strengthens the group feeling when people work together to find the place and to make up for its downsides.
Basic features which should not miss with any organized sleeping place are drinking water supply, a fire place to cook and wood in reach.
also appreciated by participants are hot showers/sauna, a lake/ place to swim, toilets, a roof, a breakfast room, a kitchen equipped for big groups, some contact and exchange with locals, an action, internet facilities, information about the surroundings - bike shops, (eco)markets, where to get products from local farmers, tourist traps ...
Another type of sleeping place is schools and sport halls, which have quite some facilities.
food
The participants rotate the task of preparing a vegetarian breakfast, lunch and dinner. In our attempt to buy as local and eco food as possible we avoid big supermarkets with its highly packed and far travelled products but buy our food on local markets, small shops or from farmers we pass by. Usually we cook on wood fire, if we do not have access to a big kitchen, but for the iberian peninsula we might need another solution.
the route
We do prefer quiet asphalt roads in a beautiful scenery, slightly downhill. ~50 km per day. We do our best find them! A day with 30 km is very nice to fluff around and enjoy the not cycling sides of life. Do less on action days and none on resting days, where we should have 2 per week.A slow pace gives more time for the nice things of biketour, the brakes and workshops and a deeper picture of the sleeping places, but still you might have to expect harder day - busy roads, 80 km, 100 maybe with the shortcuts, some haste because some hosts are waiting...
consensus
We work with consensus based decision making - not the majority decides, but everyone is included in the decision We do that since years, and we think that all decisions should be based on consensus. But we do also know, that none of us learned this in school and that there are certain human qualities which take care, that we will always have decision makers and people sitting quiet in the circle. Cultural and language barriers, human group behavior, gender specific behavior, highly motivated or very lazy people and the constantly changing group structure are standing against our try, but we think, it is important to train our communication and decision making skills and be patient during long morning circles, try new structures and experiment with the whole thing to live an alternative to what governments present as democracy.
eco-mobile ...
With this tour we do set an example how to travel in an ecological sound way. We do not use any motorized vehicles, transport all our stuff on our bike or with our trailors. We will reduce our garbage as much as possible, reuse most of it and try to recycle the rest. We shop locally and organically produced stuff, cook with wook and eat vegeterian meals. Every participant comes with a different background to the tour, different ideas how to behave ecological. During the tour we will learn from each other, how to do that, and find out the do's and don'ts. We consider it everyones personal decision to follow them, but we expect you to be open to listen to the reasons behind them and to stricktly follow them, if you do something for the whole group.
...action community
Biketour connects with local groups and projects, by whom we are being hosted. They show us their project, their campaigns or their nightlife. and we might find a way to help them with our massive workforce, our positive motivated radiation, our ability to raise attention for a certain topic as an international biketour doing an action. On the one hand we see biketourists experiencing the host project, collecting ideas and get impressions of political realities, on the other hand the local group is visited by a cheerful crowd of open-minded foreign people, who bring some fresh wind and new ideas and tell of similar things happening at home.
organizing network
The tour is organised by an open network of old and new participants, there is no NGO or party behind us. We do have a strong connection to EYFA [[1]] and WCN [[2]] though. This is also a call to you to join organising effords and to prepare stuff for the tour at home. There are people putting a shitload of work into this project, doing the international und national coordination, caring for hosts, sleepingplaces, actions, participants, infrastructure, info-material and funding. Visit help out to see how to support them. Find out about the next meeting, online or in real, where decisions are being taken and work distributed. And although it is not easy to get rid of them we try to reduce hierachies by abolishing the difference between organisers and participants during the tour : everyone is an organiser !!
money
Biketour is a cheap way to travel. Right now we prpose a daily fee of 8 eco per day. The Eco is EYFA's alternative currency, calculated every year for every participating country. 8 eco are roughly 8 euros for someone from the rich west and around 3-4 ecos people from poorer countries. But this money is collected anonymously by Sigmund, the magic hat. So if you are rich enough to support some less wealthy person, you have the chance to give more, or less if you happen not to own much money. Sometimes we are very lucky with funding, but generally we are the poor type. Asking for free entry or reduction everywhere as we are a big international group with poor eastern europeans and should get everything for free. We can also ask farmers and shop owners for (food) donations, so that in general the costs stay low. On the other hand there are really nice project on our way and we want them to profit from our stay. Not only through the higher media interest, but if possible by leaving some money. But even more valuable are friendship and inspiration exchanged between participants and locals.
conclusion
There is quite some magic happening around biketour, chaos everywhere, things not working out, being different than expected and a lot of improvisation. But in these rooms, this not organized part, which people have to cope with together, will be filled with the nicest minutes and be the time, when friendships grow. Leave place for creativity, BT itself cost a lot of time and energy per day, trust in the biketour ability to work things out herself:]
espanol
El Biketour del Ecotopia es una comunidad activa eco-móvil de camino a o desde Ecotopia. Unos 10 a 50 ciclistas de diversas caracterÃÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂsticas - nacionalidad, edad, lengua, experiencia - completan un ciclo juntos hacia Ecotopia, haciendo acciones en el camino y reúnen a gente y a grupos interesados por el medio ambiente. Todos llevan acoplado en sus bicis equipo para acampar. Es un viaje totalmente caótico, con los lugares donde dormir, la composición del grupo y el valor nutritivo en constante cambio, pero con algunas cosas comunes como: toma de decisión basada en el consenso, todas las tareas divididas entre los participantes, un lugar donde dormir cada noche y desayuno, almuerzo y cena mediante una cuota participativa calculada en ecos y recogida por "Sigmund", nuestro sombrero mágico.
1:) de los lugares donde dormir
El lugar básico el dormir de BT incluye un cierto espacio para las tiendas. Pues nada más es realmente necesario, hicimos la experiencia que podemos organizar nuestros lugares el dormir durante el viaje, durante el dÃÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂa. Esto es agradable a veces - consolida la sensación del grupo cuando la gente trabaja junta para encontrar el lugar y para compensar sus desventajas.
Las caracterÃÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂsticas básicas que no deben faltar con ningún lugar organizado el dormir son fuente del agua potable, un lugar del fuego a cocinar y madera en alcance.
también son apreciadas por los participantes las duchas calientes/sauna, un lago/lugar para nadar, los tocadores, una azotea, un cuarto del desayuno, una cocina equipada para los grupos grandes, algunos entran en contacto con e intercambio con los locals, una acción, instalaciones del Internet, información sobre los alrededores - tiendas de la bici, los mercados (del eco), donde conseguir productos de los granjeros locales, las trampas del turista…
Otro tipo de lugar el dormir es escuelas y los pasillos de deporte, que tienen absolutamente algunas instalaciones. ¡Se cercioran de, son lugar para un fuego que cocina!
Intentamos no pagar los lugares el dormir, o si conseguir las reducciones grandes, como nosotros somos un ecotopoor con la gente pobre de ensamblar de Europa Oriental. 2 euros/personas/noches se parecen un precio aceptable. a menos que decidamos apoyar ese proyecto cerca nos están recibiendo - entonces tenemos gusto de pagar más ~ si podemos permitirnos lo.
2:) del alimento
Compramos nuestro alimento en mercados locales o de granjeros pasamos cerca, como eco como posible y cocinero en el fuego de madera, si no tenemos acceso a una cocina grande. Nada organizar para eso, salvo que un grupo local pudieron pedir de antemano donaciones del alimento…
3:) del registro
Poblar venido e ir en biketour. Solamente algunos de ellos registro, y solamente alguna gente registrada vienen. Los planes lo cambian… son duros conseguir un número próximo para contar encendido - 10 a 50 es absolutamente exactos.
4:) el de la ruta
Preferimos carreteras de asfalto reservadas en un paisaje hermoso, levemente cuesta abajo. ~50 kilómetro por dÃÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂa. Y tomar esto serio. Un dÃÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂa con 30 kilómetros es muy agradable a la pelusa alrededor y goza de los lados que no completan un ciclo de la vida. Hacer menos en dÃÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂas y ningunos de la acción el los dÃÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂas de descanso, donde debemos tener 2 por semana. no que allàBT no puede hacer más, él es bueno conseguir a gente pasar sus fronteras a veces, pero un paso lento da más hora para las cosas agradables del biketour, los frenos y los talleres y un cuadro más profundo de los lugares el dormir. Si u no puede encontrar un lugar el dormir para cubrir ese agujero de los 90km entre esos 2 muy agradables, licencia justa él abierto al grupo para encontrar uno. Si la gente desea completar un ciclo más, ella es siempre agradable hacer eso en su propia cuenta.
5:) del consenso
Experimentamos con la toma de decisión basada consenso. Hacemos eso desde años, y pensamos que todas las decisiones se deben basar en consenso. Pero también sabemos, ese ningunos de nosotros aprendieron que esto en escuela y ése hay ciertas calidades humanas que toman cuidado, que tendremos siempre responsables y gente que se sientan silenciosamente en el cÃÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂrculo. las barreras linguÃÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂsticas culturales y, la gente altamente motivada o muy perezosa del comportamiento humano del grupo, del comportamiento especÃÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂfico del género, y la estructura del grupo constantemente que cambia estÃÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÃ
