== Books / Zines and Distros ==

'''Sidenote/Idea:''' Even though the Portable Zine Library (and film collection) is mainly inteded to serve the biketour participants' needs. But (other from our internal Booklet and Cookbook) they might also be a great thing to share with projects along the way! This is why it could be useful to have especially the Zines '''as a digital copy / folder''' as well!

'''Places to find and print::::::'''
* collection in English and Spanish here http://www.anti-politics.net/distro/
* www.activedistributionshop.org/ (you have to pay but good for browsing and some stuff as cheap as printing yourself)
* http://tempestlibrary.com/ (in Berlin)
* http://theanarchistlibrary.org/ (pdfs in different formats )
* http://www.alphabetthreat.co.uk/pasttense/page2.html - mostly london area radical history, but some good examples of commons land struggles and also some zines covering other regions.
* http://imaginenoborders.org/zines/

'''Particular titles / resources:::::::'''

It would be great to have a mini collective media library with us for the 2013 tour.. Please add in any particular titles which link in with this year's tour, or have useful practical info for the biketour (e.g. about fixing bikes, info about regions we are passing through, etc..). '''If you are able to bring something, please put a ^ sign before the item so we know it's on it's way! :D'''

*'''Books:'''
**http://www.weareeverywhere.org/ (I love this book but left it in the uk :( - a history of global anti-capitalism from the people) BIG - so maybe just a few key chapters > or we can share!!

*'''Zines / Booklets:'''

2013 Maps

2013-07-02T11:29:51Z

Agnessiob: /* Maps scanned / available in BT 2013 material pool */

= Purpose of this working group =

We need (bike) road maps to navigate, because not all people have GPS devices, satellites might be switched off, road signs can mislead you and locals don't always know the right way to tell you...

= Previous year(s) =

Last year, people scanned good maps of the route regions that they found and put them together. Everyone could then download and/or print the whole package or just parts of it. Those maps could also be saved on a digital camera, a smart phone or tablet computer in order to look at them on a screen.

= Please participate! =

* Check your collection of travel maps at home or in your library!
* Scan the ones of the regions we go throgh!
* Zip them and send them to the coordinators!
* Mark in the below, which parts you have scanned already, so that someone else doesn't do the same work.
* Bring the original map to the tour if it is possible!

2013 Maps

2013-07-02T10:26:16Z

Agnessiob: /* Maps scanned / available in BT 2013 material pool */

= Purpose of this working group =

We need (bike) road maps to navigate, because not all people have GPS devices, satellites might be switched off, road signs can mislead you and locals don't always know the right way to tell you...

= Previous year(s) =

Last year, people scanned good maps of the route regions that they found and put them together. Everyone could then download and/or print the whole package or just parts of it. Those maps could also be saved on a digital camera, a smart phone or tablet computer in order to look at them on a screen.

= Please participate! =

* Check your collection of travel maps at home or in your library!
* Scan the ones of the regions we go throgh!
* Zip them and send them to the coordinators!
* Mark in the below, which parts you have scanned already, so that someone else doesn't do the same work.
* Bring the original map to the tour if it is possible!

== Books / Zines and Distros ==

'''Sidenote/Idea:''' Even though the Portable Zine Library (and film collection) is mainly inteded to serve the biketour participants' needs. But (other from our internal Booklet and Cookbook) they might also be a great thing to share with projects along the way! This is why it could be useful to have especially the Zines '''as a digital copy / folder''' as well!

'''Places to find and print::::::'''
* collection in English and Spanish here http://www.anti-politics.net/distro/
* www.activedistributionshop.org/ (you have to pay but good for browsing and some stuff as cheap as printing yourself)
* http://tempestlibrary.com/ (in Berlin)
* http://theanarchistlibrary.org/ (pdfs in different formats )

'''Particular titles / resources:::::::'''

It would be great to have a mini collective media library with us for the 2013 tour.. Please add in any particular titles which link in with this year's tour, or have useful practical info for the biketour (e.g. about fixing bikes, info about regions we are passing through, etc..). '''If you are able to bring something, please put a ^ sign before the item so we know it's on it's way! :D'''

*'''Books:'''
**http://www.weareeverywhere.org/ (I love this book but left it in the uk :( - a history of global anti-capitalism from the people) BIG - so maybe just a few key chapters > or we can share!!

*'''Zines / Booklets:'''

Biketour 2013

2013-06-27T22:48:31Z

Agnessiob: /* Creative Work */

==So far...==

12 people from the Europe wide Biketour Collective met in Berlin in the snow for the annual '''[[Winter Meeting 2013|Winter Meeting]]'''. You can read the agenda and a summary of the minutes [[Winter Meeting 2013|here]]...

As you can see from these pages, many things are still up for debate- so if you have some ideas - make your self a login and add them to the relevant pages or contact info@ecotopiabiketour.net.... and remember 'You are the Biketour!!'

==So why another Biketour??==

# Because we believe in DIY, slow travel and Doing it Ourselves!
# Because we have a 23 year legacy of creating incredible experiences / skills sharing / self organising / experiential education ... and we want to do it again!
# Because we want to use our energy and momentum to further the campaigns that matter to us most
# Because we want to learn from the existing social and activism projects that are happening all over Europe NOW!
# Because we want to make things happen - and believe we can do that together
# Because you know it will be the adventure of 2013!

==This Years Theme ==

'''THEME'''

Brainstorm from the recent [[Winter Meeting]]:::::

* WHAT; Migrant Struggles; Fortress Europe; physical borders and ownership of space; social; psychological; on and offline borders; the virtual and cultural borders.
* HOW; by having a strong focus(s) on what we can achieve; being sensitive to local border perception.Visiting historical and modern day border struggles and traces.
* Action suggestions raged from joining up with existing actions such as the Berlin Wall / East Side Gallery or refugee protests; creating moc border control points; bespoke passports; comparing policies; finding commonalities and sharing skills and cultures, stories; recording and documenting them as radio / video / blog posts and e-activisim tactics.
* Slogan words brainstorm: commons / community / borders, boundaries and beyond / recycling borders / rethink borders / cultural exchange /granica, hranic, Granit, Grenze, granični / mapping, remap borders /reclaim / open (your borders, boundaries) / identities / identify your borders/boundaries / .. of the commons / geh an deine Grenze(n)! / Allmende / iron wheels / limits / crossing / terre / pedal movement / paddle / libre (freedom) / movement (body, social)

We have a consensus about 'Borders, Boundaries and Beyond' as a (broad) theme, but need to focus snappy slogan and focus one one or some of the above suggestions, depending on the projects and campaigns we wish to highlight for 2013.

* Some Suggestions about Discussions or Reflections on Borders:
** the dialectics / relations between borders (peripherie) and their centers
** ....

=== Topics for Discussions or ad-hoc workshops ===

* Making a Rocket Stove
* Offline and online life: Why do so few people care about their online behaviour even though they are very stricly supporting alternative ways of living offline and even though they are socio-critical in the offline world?
* Online Security and the Right to Informational Self-Determination
* Corporate Design: Do we also need this? Or should we as critical and alternative people reject the idea that a neat, sterile, clean and reproducible logo should "brandmark" all our publications and even daily items? Do we limit our ways of artistic expressions by trying to produce recognisable media? What are the general psychological rules behind (corporate) design and why does it play a big role in capitalism?
* Anti-Advertisement Activism
* First Aid
* Samba
* Action Training
* Language Basics
* Organic Agriculture Basics
* Bike Maintenance
* Facilitation of Group Meetings and Concensus Decision Making
* Majority Decisions vs. Consensus; Consensus vs. Consent
* Reflective Language and non-violent communication
* How to self-organise?
* Forms of Solidarian / Alternative Economy
* De-Growth
* Mapping / Critical Carthography
* Pro Border vs. No Border: Successionism and Cosmopolitanism in the Left
* ...
* ...

==Biketour 2013 is cycling for a slogan!==

This year the tour is likely to

==Things needed for biketour==

=== Collective Equipment ===

Biketour as a collective "has" some '''collective stuff''' (pans / trailers), which are collectively transported and used during the tour. During the rest of the year, these things are stored in different places and should all come together again by the start of the next tour. Things used in 2012 and planned to use in 2013 can be found on the '''[[2013 Equipment]]''' page. Please update this page with the things you have and write how they can get to the starting point of the tour!

=== Private Stuff ===

Every individual joining the tour will have to use some '''private stuff'''. See page [[what to bring]] for ideas about what participants need.

=== Additional things ===

The tour lives from its different people and all the (material and immaterial) things that these people bring and share. On the [[2013 Equipment]] page you can announce what kind of '''additional things''' you will bring to the tour. This can help us to make sure in advance that we won't find ourselves in the strange situations of having 25 guitars but no single bike pump ;). You can also find some inspirations on [[what to bring]].

=== Food ===

'''Food''' on the Biketour cannot be bought beforehand for and transported over more than two months. We need to buy things in between. It is always challenging to get food that matches criteria like vegan, local, ecolocical, no-cooling-needed, nutritous and from a production/distribution facility worth supporting. Help us to spot places beforehand on our [[2013 Food]] page!

=== Media (Films, Books, ...) ===

Watching films and reading books/(maga)zines/etc. can help us understand certain local histories and backgrounds. Here's [[2013 Media Library]] where you can collect all media that you think is useful for the understanding of the regions we pass through or this years theme. (Or just for sharing your favorite film/book...). It would be great if you could take the media with you that you put on the wiki, but of course someone else can get them, too.

==Print Material On the Road==

* [[booklet|2013 Booklet]]: including schedule, description of places
* small language book
* maps?
* stickers?

check and keep [[BT_2013_advertising_material]] updated :D

==Propaganda==

* Where to publicize it
** some ideas on last year's page [Biketour 2012]
** put new ideas here!

== Get involved! ==
See the website's Get Involved Page [http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/?page_id=49] for common things to help with. If you pick one or come up with something new: Down here is space to organise or share your work with others!

=== Creative Work ===
* logo
* graphics - check and keep [[BT_2013_advertising_material]] up to date
* visualisations
* maps
* [[booklet|2013 Booklet]]
* ...?

=== Translation ===

We are always looking for translators - if you spreak the local language of any of the places we willl be passing through - please get in touch:
info[at]ecotopiabiketour.net or see the [[2013 Text that needs translating]] page.

=== 2013 Funding ===

We are currently seeking funding towards the 2013 Biketour
See the [[Fundraising]] page

=== Local volunteering in Berlin ===
Possibilities
* [[booklet|2013 Booklet]]
* transportation of material

** ...
* soli-parties and soli-events
* order, buy and fetch food for the kick-off days and stocks taking on the bike tour (fair coffee, spices, ...)

==Things needed for biketour==

=== Collective Equipment ===

Biketour as a collective "has" some '''collective stuff''' (pans / trailers), which are collectively transported and used during the tour. During the rest of the year, these things are stored in different places and should all come together again by the start of the next tour. Things used in 2012 and planned to use in 2013 can be found on the '''[[2013 Equipment]]''' page. Please update this page with the things you have and write how they can get to the starting point of the tour!

=== Private Stuff ===

Every individual joining the tour will have to use some '''private stuff'''. See page [[what to bring]] for ideas about what participants need.

=== Additional things ===

The tour lives from its different people and all the (material and immaterial) things that these people bring and share. On the [[2013 Equipment]] page you can announce what kind of '''additional things''' you will bring to the tour. This can help us to make sure in advance that we won't find ourselves in the strange situations of having 25 guitars but no single bike pump ;). You can also find some inspirations on [[what to bring]].

=== Food ===

'''Food''' on the Biketour cannot be bought beforehand for and transported over more than two months. We need to buy things in between. It is always challenging to get food that matches criteria like vegan, local, ecolocical, no-cooling-needed, nutritous and from a production/distribution facility worth supporting. Help us to spot places beforehand on our [[2013 Food]] page!

=== Media (Films, Books, ...) ===

Watching films and reading books/(maga)zines/etc. can help us understand certain local histories and backgrounds. Here's [[2013 Media Library]] where you can collect all media that you think is useful for the understanding of the regions we pass through or this years theme. (Or just for sharing your favorite film/book...). It would be great if you could take the media with you that you put on the wiki, but of course someone else can get them, too.

Biketour 2013

2013-06-27T22:40:39Z

Agnessiob: /* Creative Work */

==So far...==

12 people from the Europe wide Biketour Collective met in Berlin in the snow for the annual '''[[Winter Meeting 2013|Winter Meeting]]'''. You can read the agenda and a summary of the minutes [[Winter Meeting 2013|here]]...

As you can see from these pages, many things are still up for debate- so if you have some ideas - make your self a login and add them to the relevant pages or contact info@ecotopiabiketour.net.... and remember 'You are the Biketour!!'

==So why another Biketour??==

# Because we believe in DIY, slow travel and Doing it Ourselves!
# Because we have a 23 year legacy of creating incredible experiences / skills sharing / self organising / experiential education ... and we want to do it again!
# Because we want to use our energy and momentum to further the campaigns that matter to us most
# Because we want to learn from the existing social and activism projects that are happening all over Europe NOW!
# Because we want to make things happen - and believe we can do that together
# Because you know it will be the adventure of 2013!

==This Years Theme ==

'''THEME'''

Brainstorm from the recent [[Winter Meeting]]:::::

* WHAT; Migrant Struggles; Fortress Europe; physical borders and ownership of space; social; psychological; on and offline borders; the virtual and cultural borders.
* HOW; by having a strong focus(s) on what we can achieve; being sensitive to local border perception.Visiting historical and modern day border struggles and traces.
* Action suggestions raged from joining up with existing actions such as the Berlin Wall / East Side Gallery or refugee protests; creating moc border control points; bespoke passports; comparing policies; finding commonalities and sharing skills and cultures, stories; recording and documenting them as radio / video / blog posts and e-activisim tactics.
* Slogan words brainstorm: commons / community / borders, boundaries and beyond / recycling borders / rethink borders / cultural exchange /granica, hranic, Granit, Grenze, granični / mapping, remap borders /reclaim / open (your borders, boundaries) / identities / identify your borders/boundaries / .. of the commons / geh an deine Grenze(n)! / Allmende / iron wheels / limits / crossing / terre / pedal movement / paddle / libre (freedom) / movement (body, social)

We have a consensus about 'Borders, Boundaries and Beyond' as a (broad) theme, but need to focus snappy slogan and focus one one or some of the above suggestions, depending on the projects and campaigns we wish to highlight for 2013.

* Some Suggestions about Discussions or Reflections on Borders:
** the dialectics / relations between borders (peripherie) and their centers
** ....

=== Topics for Discussions or ad-hoc workshops ===

* Making a Rocket Stove
* Offline and online life: Why do so few people care about their online behaviour even though they are very stricly supporting alternative ways of living offline and even though they are socio-critical in the offline world?
* Online Security and the Right to Informational Self-Determination
* Corporate Design: Do we also need this? Or should we as critical and alternative people reject the idea that a neat, sterile, clean and reproducible logo should "brandmark" all our publications and even daily items? Do we limit our ways of artistic expressions by trying to produce recognisable media? What are the general psychological rules behind (corporate) design and why does it play a big role in capitalism?
* Anti-Advertisement Activism
* First Aid
* Samba
* Action Training
* Language Basics
* Organic Agriculture Basics
* Bike Maintenance
* Facilitation of Group Meetings and Concensus Decision Making
* Majority Decisions vs. Consensus; Consensus vs. Consent
* Reflective Language and non-violent communication
* How to self-organise?
* Forms of Solidarian / Alternative Economy
* De-Growth
* Mapping / Critical Carthography
* Pro Border vs. No Border: Successionism and Cosmopolitanism in the Left

=== Food ===

'''Food''' on the Biketour cannot be bought beforehand for and transported over more than two months. We need to buy things in between. It is always challenging to get food that matches criteria like vegan, local, ecolocical, no-cooling-needed, nutritous and from a production/distribution facility worth supporting.
