*do I need to bring my bike?
**Well if you want to avoid all the things about preparations in hurry, you should. Otherwise the best is if you can contact someone before in the place where you will join Biketour and ask if is possible to find you something. There was a people who bought cheap bikes and later group were always looking back for them.

*how do I transport my bike across Europe?
**Sometimes it can be hassle with bike to travel on starting point of Biketour, but it worth to do. Trains, buses, ferries, planes all over the world can accept a bike as a baggage, what you have to do is to pack and protect you bike and other things from damaging. You should pay for it like for two large baggage. Sometimes you will have to dismantle your bike, front or both wheels, just to be easier to put in the baggage area. Also, packing your bike in a cardboard box (there are special large bike bags available too!) is good advice to avoid the problems! (See [[#Transporting your bike|below]])

*What kind of bike do I need?
**The one that you already have, from economic side it will the best. Any kind would do (judging from previous years of Biketour), but with some bikes it will be much easier. In ideal case, the most recommended would be bikes invented for travelling: trekking and touring bikes (usually they have 28 inches wheels and thinner tires, but some of the bikes called “hybrid bikes” have 26 inches wheels like mountain bikes but with race kind of frame, more gears, suspensions etc).
**If you have mountain bike, don't forget to put ROAD TIRES, the best are semi-slick tires which you can use as for road also for some easy dirt roads (because sometimes we use roads that don’t have so much traffic, like dirt roads). That makes Biketour much nicer and healthier.
**If you have road (racing) bike, don't forget to put rough tires, as thick as possible. This will make your ride and life much easier.
**No matter which kind of bike you used, you have to know that, if you want to travel without so much stress, best it will be if you to:
***Try to find frame (bike) size that is right size for you (it will be long ride and you have to feel you bike as one part of your body). Sometimes if bike doesn’t fit you, you can expect muscle pain in different areas. Try to ask some more information in your closest bike store. Regarding frame materials of your bike, usually bikes for travelling are made from steel, alloy or titanium (carbon fibre, other combination). Steel (Cr-Mo compound) is the best one for riding on this kind of trips, but it is heaviest one and it is cheapest one. For now the best solution according to the people who like travelling by bike is alloy (7001 type) frame bikes. They are enough stiff and they are lighter for travelling and they are little bit more expensive. The last one material for frames is Titanium, far stiffer, lighter, but very, very expensive (if you have one of those you are lucky and bring one good lock for it).
***Try to find bike with 36 (or more) spokes wheels if it is possible, made from stainless steel spokes (stronger ones) and double frame wheels (they are more stiffer and durable), or if you don’t have that kind of wheels, you could bring, for example, for every hundred km one spoke for your rear wheel (measured by professionals) plus tools for repairing. So if it is trip long 3000km you have to bring 30 spare spokes (1kg more to carry) plus tools for repairing (1kg more). So it’s up to you.
***How many gears? Well far now we notice that people travelled sometimes with just one gear, but if you want to have less painful travelling, you should have at least 18 gears that function. Because sometimes you can expect ascending up to 15% (like it was in Bosnia, Romania…).
***Rack and panniers? Well there are a lot of different kinds of both things. Rack just should be stiff and without ruptures that can hold all things that you should bring with you. If you have front ones is the same situation. Sometimes people made racks from steel for buildings and they carried backpacks on it, and it worked. But it is not so safely for riding with that. Panniers could be normal and waterproof. If you have normal panniers you should keep your things dry with lot of plastic bags or you will bagging other people for some spare close (if you are lucky that they are same size as you are). Waterproof panniers are the best solution but also the most expensive ones. Sometimes you can find on sale some cheap one.
***Suggestion: please, but please check all the things on your bike before you want to go on some trip like this. Frame, brakes, gears, spokes…everything.

*What kind of a bike I DON'T need?
**One that is already broken. New, super cheap from a supermarket (so-called Chinese ones, people from China no offense). Super expensive top-of-the-class bikes. Extremely heavy weight bike. Full suspension downhill bike. Avoid to bring borrowed bike you haven't tried before (or better - if you will borrow the bike, try it before Biketour, mostly to avoid problems with the size of the bike). Remember that you should feel comfortable on your bike, because you will be cycling several hours a day.

*What material do I need for my bike?
**Well first of all you should bring some of the spare parts for your bike. You have to know the weakness of your bike so you can bring important things for it. Firs of all it is: inner tubes and repair kit, one tire (if it is possible), brake shoes, oil for chain, spokes, pump, basic tool for your bike. Other things are highly recommended: lock for bike, helmet for you, rain protection for both, lights (front and rear), sunglasses, hat and water bottles.

*Is there anyone taking care of my bike and repairing my flat tyres?
**Well, there is always somebody that knows more about bike repairing but as we are the group that it is not always in one large group but divided in several small groups and maybe this person would not be in your group. What you should do is to bring your own tools and to ask somebody to show you how to solve some problems that you will have. That how you will learn more about your best friend.

*I heard that you carry everything by bike, how can I do it?
**All you need are RACK and PANNIERS (bike bags) attached to a bike. Two separate panniers are much better that just one big (it is easier to take them off, and we need to do it every day). Second thing is: don't take too much personal stuff. Try to put everything into panniers and check the weight: it shouldn't go over 15kg for 2 panniers together.
Bike Paniers (espec. seperated, light weight, waterproof and good shaped ones) can be pretty expensive. On the web you can find several diy projects on how to make your own from (recycled) material. Search yourself, or check [[http://www.sfbike.org/?racks here]] or for example [[http://cam.ucsd.edu/~spav/play/panniers.html here]] or [[http://kenkifer.com/bikepages/touring/bags.htm here]].

*And that you have "trailers". What's that? and will I be able to carry them?
**Well on trailers we are putting all things that Biketour family need. Food, dishes, flyers, music and other equipment, load up to 35kg. We have now 3 or 4 of those for carrying our equipment and one for carrying children. Everybody who have strong will and strong legs could do that, just if his bike is compatible (on most of the new bikes is possible to mount these trailers).

*What should I avoid bringing (bike stuff)?
**Too big and too heavy set of tools, or tools which you can't really use with your bike. Don't take super-strong and heavy locks, moderate locks are just fine.

*what advices would you give me for a safe, easy, cycling during Biketour?
**Well as you carry all things by yourself you should count twice what to bring. Not so much clothes but to have everything. Avoid bringing with you: anger, hatefulness, jealousness, xenophobia, grill, meat, guns, bombs, radioactive materials…

*What advices would you give me for a safe, easy, cycling during Biketour?
**Well many things it is up to you, but some tips could not be lion on the path:
**It will be wise if could do your health checking before you are coming to the Biketour, just you to be shore that you will endure all trip by bike. Maybe talk with your doctor about what you will do this summer. You can bring with you some basic medicine, sun protection and hat.
**Bring first aid with you.
**Prepare you bike as much as possible (if you can try it even with full panniers to cycle) and cycle few times before start of Biketour, that how you will avoid pain in the muscles in first days.
**Bring your helmet and wear it almost always
**Bring front and back lights.
**Cycle with the people who cycle same pace as you, or who are more experienced.
**Cycle not on the end of the road but one meter from the end line, that how drivers will notice you before and you will always have more tome and space to run from those who didn’t notice you.
**Learn and use bike signs.
**Bring bike bell or horn, you will need it for many things.
**If you really want to bring alcohol, only use it when you feel cold, but before don't forget that you have to eat a little bit.
**Always have some sweets with you and some worm clothes, you never know where you will astray.
**Bring some instrument and make music all the time and sing.
**Bring one sun for you and people from Biketour and ask wind if he can blow in the back for some time.
**Bring tend with you for two people so you can share with someone and you can make friendships or love or both.
**Bring good mood, smile, song, friend and national recipes for food and drink.

== Transporting your bike ==
(By Milan)

Now about bike transport bags. I've decided to build my own bike bag made of heavy
duty plastic

material that is mostly used for the base of a tent. It's light weight and it could
be folded easily.

I have found several types of bike transport bags on the internet at on-line bike
shops.

http://www.evanscycles.com/categories/bicycle-accessories/bags/bike-bags-transport

It doesn't have to be padded and dimensions should be: 115x85x24 cm

One zipper, one or two shoulder straps and that's all.

You have to dismantle wheels, handlebar, pedals, seat post, luggage carrier for
panniers

and mudguards if you have them. Then you can put some peaces of cardboard or wrap
around

sharp parts with some thin plastic foil to secure your bike from unwanted scratches
or damage.

THE ROUTE

Here is the latest route update:

It roughly goes like this (concrete Places in lower case, Regions or Landscapes in CAPITAL LETTERS):

Berlin > BRANDENBURG > LAUSITZ > Schluckenauer Zipfel/Šluknovský výběžek > ČECHY(BOHEMIA) > WALDVIERTEL > Wien/Bratislava > BURGENLAND > STEIERMARK > KÄRNTEN/KOROŠKA > Ljubljana > Zagreb > SAVA RIVER / SLAVONIA) > Brčko > Beograd > Novi Sad > BANAT > Timișoara > ........ TRANSILVANIA ? > Cluj ?

* a detailed Day-by-Day-Plan (will be updated constantly whenever projects, activities and sleeping places are confirmed)
* overview maps and detailed regional maps (we are planning to scan and upload something so that you can print and bring it. If you have detailed regional [bike] maps, please scan them for us!)

PLAY THE GAME: FILL THE GAPS! HELP WITH THE FINE TUNING OF THE ROUTE PLANNING

Between our fixed places we sometimes still need sleeping places for trips from one interesting project to another one, which last longer than one day.
Do you know anyone or anything interesting for...
... between Bautzen and Ústí nad Labem (preferably in the Schluckenauer Zipfel/Šluknovský výběžek)
... between Praha, Tabor and WALDVIERTEL?
... between Ljubljana and Zagreb (preferably along the Sava river)?
... along the Sava river in SLAVONIA?

HELP PREPARING OUR TOUR FROM HOME

* Add some ideas for media to watch, read or share on the tour to our wiki: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/2013_Media_Library
** get some of these media and tell us that you will bring them (or directly mark this in the wiki).
* Make suggestions for food stocks that we can buy beforehand (spices, 'ethically produced/traded' imported stuff like coffee, etc.): http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/2013_Food
** Make suggestions for places to buy / order food on the way: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/2013_Food
* Help with our equipment: Check out http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/Biketour_2013#Things_needed_for_biketour and either suggest and/or get and bring things for the Biketour. Please let us know what you bring (wiki, email), so that others don't bring the same stuff!
* Help fundraising! You can write applications to bigger funding sources, such has listed here: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/Fundraising
** Or host a local fundraising event in your place (see below: DIY example from vienna)
* Prepare content for our 2013 booklet: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/Booklet (To get some inspiration, you can download last year's booklet here: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/BT_2012_advertising_material#Booklet )
* Get our Flyer/Poster from http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/BT_2013_advertising_material . Spread them online in your networks or print them out and distribute them in your local environment!
* Donate or lend us a Trailer. Or make us a new trailer!

GET PREPARED PERSONALLY

* Remember that we are going through the region with Europe's higest density of ticks, which can cause dangerous infections. Depending on your general attitute towards vaccination, you might consider getting a Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) vaccination. Remember: This vaccination comes in 2-3 doses and requires some weeks time between the first and the second shot! Considering that we are leaving in three weeks already you would probably have to get the second short "on the road"....
* For those of you who need visas: Please apply for them in time!
** These are the countries we will definitely go to: Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary (all EU, all Schengen Zone); Croatia (at that time EU, not Schengen Zone); Serbia, Bosnia and Herzigowina (not EU, not Schengen Zone); Romania (EU, not Schengen Zone)
* Keep in mind that your health insurance might not be "beyond borders"! Not having a health insurance can cause big trouble, especially on a bike trip where the risk of injury is always there. Please also keep in mind that the group cannot pay any emergency fees and that the Biketour as a self-organised project has no legal liability for its participants!
* Generally: Inform yourselves about differences, particularities and risks in the regions we go to (and share your research on the wiki or via email!)

BRAINSTORM, STUDY, SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS

Try to take some time and brainstorm or study about our theme of "Borders".
* It would be great to share your thoughts beforehand already via our mailing list, in the wiki (http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/Biketour_2013#This_Years_Theme) or on our blog (http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/?cat=35).
** Dealing with the theme doesn't need to be in the form of text: Creative artwork, info graphics or abstract expression is also a nice way of getting into it!
* Ecotopia Biketour is an informal learning community. We are all learning from each other. Please think about which specific things you can offer others to learn! Take some time to prepare a workshop or pack some materials with you that can facilitate this skillsharing!
** We will also often be invited to share our knowledge with others. The first concrete thing is that we will be able to hold (spontanious - because the programme is already printed) workshops on the Lausitz Climate Camp. Please have a look at the Camp's website and its programme (http://www.lausitzcamp.info http://www.lausitzcamp.info/info/aktuelle-programmubersicht/ ; unfortunately in german language only), think about which workshop you or we could offer there and prepare it a bit!

BERLIN OPEN MEETING

Every Thursday we have an Open Meeting at 16:00 in NewYorck im Bethanien (Berlin-Kreuzberg)::::If you are in Berlin feel free to come and meet us!

KICK-OFF DAYS IN BERLIN (JUL 11-15)

We are right now highly busy with putting together a programme for our first three days that we will spend in and around Berlin.
The focuses of the days should be:
1) establishing ourselves as a group, getting to know each other and organising ourselves
2) dealing with the theme of "borders" in Berlin, visiting places, collaborate with projects, make a public event/action).
3) Spending some time checking over out bikes, ans pimping them for the long ride!

We're in contact with quite some people, collectives and places, so it will be hard to squeeze it all into three days, but we're confident that we'll put together a cool programme for you! If you're in Berlin, you can still join the Kick-Off Days Working Group!

Looking forward to meeting many of you very soon!!!
And don't forget: You are the biketour!

* Dodajte neke ideje o izvorima informacija koje bi na neki nacin mogle biti povezane s BT, ili medijima koje bi htjeli pratiti/dijeliti na BT na naš wiki: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/2013_Media_Library
** nabavite neke od tih knjiga/filmova/medija i recite nam da ćete ih ponijeti sa sobom na BT (ili to označite na wiki stranici).
* Dajte nam prijedloge o hrani koju možemo nabaviti unaprijed (začini, 'etički proizvedeno/razmijenjeno' uvozne proizvode kao kava, itd.): http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/2013_Food
* Dajte nam prijedloge o tome gdje nabavljati / naručivati hranu na putu: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/2013_Food
* Pomozite pronalaženjem izvora financijskih sredstava! Možete pisati prijedloge za veće natječaje kakvi su npr. navedeni tu: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/Fundraising
** Ili ugostite lokalni događaj s temom skupljanja donacija za BT (vidi dolje: DIY primjer iz Beča)
* Pomozite nam s opremom: Pogledajte: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/Biketour_2013#Things_needed_for_biketour i predložite i/ili nabavite i ponesite stvari za Biketour. Recite nam sto cete ponijeti (wikijem, e-mailom), tako da drugi ne nose iste stvari.
* Pripremite koristan, pametan ili šaljiv sadržaj za 2013 knjižicu: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/Booklet (Za neke ideje, možete skinuti prošlogodišnju knjižicu na: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/BT_2012_advertising_material#Booklet)
* Skinite naš Flyer/Poster s http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/BT_2013_advertising_material . Proširite ga online u vašim krugovima ili isprintajte i razdijelite u vašem području!
* Donirajte ili nam posudite prikolicu za bicikl. Ili nam možete napraviti i novu!

PRIPREMITE SE

* Idemo kroz područja Evrope s najvećom gustoćom krpelja, koji mogu uzrokovati opasne infekcije. Ovisno o svom stavu, možete razmisliti o cijepljenju protiv krpeljnog encefalitisa. Pazite: cijepljenje se odvija u 2-3 doze i za potpun postupak je potrebno nekoliko tjedana između pojedinih doza cjepiva! Ovisno o tome kada se priključujete na BT, uzmite u obzir to potrebno vrijeme!
* Za one kojima trebaju vize: prijavite se za izdavanje viza na vrijeme!
** Kroz ove zemlje ćemo sigurno ići: Njemačka, Češka, Austrija (sve u EU, sve u Schengenskoj zoni)
** Vrlo vjerojatno ćemo ići kroz: Slovačku, Mađarsku, Sloveniju (sve u EU, sve u Schengenskoj zoni); Hrvatsku (tada u EU, ne i u Schengenskoj zoni); Srbiju (ne u EU, niti u Schengenskoj zoni)
** Možda, ali manje vjerojatno nego kroz ove zemlje gore, ići ćemo i kroz: Poljsku (EU, Schengenska zona); Rumunjsku (EU, ne Schengenska zona); Bosnu i Hercegovinu (ne EU, ne Schengenska zona)
* Imajte na pameti da vaše zdravstveno osiguranje možda nije "prekogranično"! Biti bez zdravstvenog osiguranja može uzrokovati dosta problema, posebno na vožnji biciklom, kada je određeni rizik stalno prisutan. Isto tako, uzmite u obzir da grupa ne može plaćati neke troškove u slučaju nezgode i da je Biketour samoorganizirani projekt koji ne snosi odgovornost za sudionike!
* Općenito: Informirajte se o razlikama, posebnostima i rizicima u područjima u koja idemo (i podijelite svoje informacije na wikiju ili putem e-maila!)

BRAINSTORM, STUDY, SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS

Try to take some time and brainstorm or study about our theme of "Borders".

OTVORENI SUSRETI BERLIN

Svakog četvrtka imamo Otvoreni sastanak u NewYorck im Bethanien (Berlin-Kreuzberg) u 16:00 sati :::: Ako si u Berlinu dođi da se upoznamo!

KICK-OFF DANI U BERLINU (11-15 SRPNJA)

Trenutno smo u gužvi sastavljajući program za prva tri dana koja provodimo u i oko Berlina. Fokus tih dana bit će:
1) uspostavljanje grupe, upoznavanje i organizacija 2) bavljenje temom "granica" u Berlinu, posjećivanje mjesta, suradnja s projektima, i organizacija javnog događaja/akcije.
3) Provođenje nekog vremena provjeravajući bicikle i pripremajući ih za dugu vožnju!

U tim pripremama dogovaramo se s prilično ljudi, kolektiva i mjesta, pa će biti teško sve strpati u tri dana, ali svejedno očekujemo da ćemo sastaviti "kul" program za Biketour!
Ako si u Berlinu, još nije kasno da se priključiš radnoj skupini za Kick-Off Days!

'''DIE ROUTE'''

Hier ist das aktuelle Update der Route:

Die Route ist eine Grobplanung (konkrete Orte sind klein geschrieben, Regionen oder Landschaften sind GROẞ GESCHRIEBEN)
Berlin > BRANDENBURG > LAUSITZ > Schluckenauer Zipfel/Šluknovský výběžek > ČECHY(BÖHMEN) > WALDVIERTEL > Wien/Bratislava > BURGENLAND > STEIERMARK > KÄRNTEN/KOROŠKA > Ljubljana > Zagreb > SAWE / SLAWONIEN > Brčko > Beograd > Novi Sad > BANAT > Timișoara > ........ TRANSILVANIEN ? > Cluj ?

Bitte besuche unsere Routenseite (http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/?page_id=1149) für:

*Einen detaillierten Tagesplan (wird regelmäßig aktualisiert, wenn Projekte, Aktivitäten oder Schlafplätze bestätigt wurden)
*Überblickskarten und detailliertere regionale Karten (wir planen Kartenmaterial einzuscannen und zur Verfügung zu stellen, sodass du diese ausdrucken und mitbringen kannst. Falls du regionale (Fahrrad-)Karten hast: Bitte einscannen und uns zuschicken!)

'''MACH MIT BEIM LÜCKEN FÜLLEN! HILF UNS BEI DER FEINPLANUNG DER ROUTE'''

Zwischen unseren festgelegten, bestätigten Orten benötigen wir an manchen Stellen noch Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten, um von einem interessanten Projekt zum nächsten zu gelangen, wenn diese länger als eine Tagesetappe von einander entfernt liegen. Wenn du in den folgenden Regionen Menschen kennst (egal ob Einzelpersonen oder Projekte) dann lass es uns wissen...
*...zwischen Bautzen und Ústí nad Labem (bevorzugt im Schluckenauer Zipfel/Šluknovský výběžek)
*... zwischen Praha, Tabor und WALDVIERTEL
*...zwischen Ljubljana und Zagreb (bevorzugt entlang der SAWE)
*...entlang der SAWE in SLAWONIEN

'''HILF MIT BEI DER TOURVORBEREITUNG VON ZUHAUSE AUS'''

*Füge neue Ideen für interessante Medien, die wir auf der Tour lesen, schauen und teilen können im Wiki hinzu: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/2013_Media_Library
**Besorge einige der aufgelisteten Medien und sag uns Bescheid, dass du sie mit auf die Tour bringst (oder direkt im Wiki vermerken)

*Mache Vorschläge für Proviantvorräte, die wir im Vorfeld kaufen können (Gewürze, „ethisch/fair“ produzierte/gehandelte Importwaren wie Kaffee, Tee, etc.) http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/2013_Food
**Mache Vorschläge für Orte auf der Tour, wo wir Essen kaufen/bestellen können: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/2013_Food

*Hilf mit bei der Materialsammlung, zu finden unter: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/Biketour_2013#Things_needed_for_biketour
**Mache Vorschläge, was wir noch brauchen und/oder bring die Sachen mit, die du schon hast oder besorgen kannst. Bitte informiere uns, was du mitbringst (wiki, e-mail), damit nicht alle das gleiche mitbringen.

*Hilf mit beim Fundraising! Du kannst Anträge bei größeren Fördereinrichtungen schreiben, wie sie hier aufgelistet sind: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/Fundraising
**Oder organisiere ein lokales Fundraising Event in deiner Region (wie zum Beispiel hier in Wien: http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/?p=2862)

*Erstelle Inhalte für unser Booklet: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/Booklet
(Zur Anregung findest du hier das Booklet aus dem letzten Jahr: http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/BT_2012_advertising_material#Booklet)

*Lade dir unsere Flyer/Poster herunter (http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/BT_2013_advertising_material) und verteile sie online in deinen Netzwerken oder drucke sie aus und lege sie an Orten in deiner Region aus

*Spende oder leihe uns einen Anhänger. Oder baue sogar einen neuen Anhänger!

'''BEREITE DICH SELBST VOR'''

*Vergiss nicht, dass wir durch die Regionen mit der höchsten Zeckenverbreitung in Europa fahren. Zecken können gefährliche Krankheiten übertragen! Je nach deiner generellen Einstellung zum Impfen, solltest du dir überlegen, ob du eine Impfung gegen Frühsommer-Meningo-Enzephalitis (FSME) durchführen lässt. Diese Impfung besteht allerdings aus 2-3 Impfdosen und benötigt einen gewissen Abstand dazwischen. Dadurch, dass wir schon in zwei Wochen losfahren, müsste die zweite Impfung wahrscheinlich schon unterwegs passieren...

*Für die unter euch, die Visa brauchen: Bitte rechtzeitig darum kümmern!
**Durch die folgenden Ländern werden wir auf jeden Fall radeln:
Deutschland, Tschechien, Österreich, Slowakei, Slowenien, Ungarn (alle in der EU im Schengen-Raum); Kroatien (momentan in der EU, aber nicht im Schengen-Raum); Serbien, Bosnien und Herzegowina (nicht in der EU, nicht im Schengen-Raum); Rumänien (in der EU, aber nicht im Schengen-Raum)

*Beachte, dass deine Krankenversicherung unter Umständen nicht „beyond borders“ gilt! Keine Krankenversicherung zu haben, kann große Schwierigkeiten verursachen, insbesondere auf einer Radtour, wo immer ein gewisses Verletzungsrisiko besteht. Bitte berücksichtige auch, das die Gruppe keinerlei Unfallkosten bezahlen kann und die Biketour als ein selbstorganisiertes Projekt keine gesetzliche Verpflichtung gegenüber den Teilnehmenden hat!

*Allgemein: Informiere dich über Unterschiede, Besonderheiten und Risiken in den Regionen, die wir bereisen werden (und teile deine Erkenntnisse im Wiki oder per E-Mail!)

'''BRAINSTORMEN, AUSEINANDERSETZEN, WISSEN UND FÄHIGKEITEN TEILEN'''

Nimm die Zeit, um dich mit unserem Thema „Grenzen“ schon jetzt auseinanderzusetzen.

*Wir fänden es schön, wenn du schon im Vorfeld deine Gedanken über das Wiki (http://btwiki.ecobytes.net/Biketour_2013#This_Years_Theme), den Mailverteiler oder unseren Blog (http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/?cat=35) mit uns teilst.
**Das muss nicht unbedingt in Textform sein: künstlerisch-kreative Ausdrucksformen, abstrakt oder als Infografik... jeder Zugang ist willkommen und bereichernd!

*Die Ecotopia Biketour versteht sich als informelle Lerngemeinschaft. Wir lernen alle voneinander. Bitte mache dir Gedanken darüber welche Lernangebote du anderen machen kannst (was können einzelne oder die Gruppe von dir lernen?)! Nimm dir Zeit, um einen Workshop (mit anderen oder alleine) vorzubereiten und pack ein paar Materialien ein, die unseren Lernaustausch unterstützen können
**Wir werden außerdem oft dazu eingeladen werden unser Wissen mit anderen zu teilen. Die erste konkrete Möglichkeit dazu haben wir auf dem Lausitz Klimacamp (spontan, da das Programm schon gedruckt ist), wo wir Workshops für alle Interessierten Campteilnehmer_innen geben können. Überlege dir welchen Workshop du oder wir dort anbieten könnten und bereiten diesen (mit) vor!
Mehr Infos über das Klimacamp und das Programm unter: http://www.lausitzcamp.info bzw. http://www.lausitzcamp.info/info/aktuelle-programmubersicht/

'''OFFENES TREFFEN IN BERLIN'''

Jeden Donnerstag findet ein offenes Treffen um 16 Uhr im NewYorck/Bethanien in Kreuzberg statt. Falls du in Berlin bist, komm vorbei und lerne uns kennen!

'''KICK-OFF TAGE IN BERLIN (11.-15. Juli)'''

Wir sind gerade mitten in den Vorbereitungen für das Programm der ersten drei Tage, die wir in und um Berlin verbringen werden. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf folgenden Punkten:
*Uns als Gruppe zusammenfinden, gegenseitiges Kennenlernen und uns organisieren
*Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema „Grenzen“ in Berlin: Orte besuchen, in Projekten mitwirken, öffentliche Veranstaltungen/Aktionen durchführen
*Unsere Fahrräder überprüfen und sie für die lange Reise fit machen!

Wir stehen im Kontakt mit mit ganz schön vielen Leuten, Kollektiven und Projekten, sodass es ziemlich schwierig werden wird alles in den drei Tagen unterzubringen, aber wir sind zuversichtlich, dass wir ein super Programm zusammenstellen werden! Falls du in Berlin bist, kannst dich gerne noch der Kick-Off-Arbeitsgruppe anschließen!

Wir freuen uns schon riesig viele von euch bald kennenzulernen! Und nicht vergessen: Ihr seid die Biketour!

RUTA

Aici gasiti cea mai recenta ruta:

In mare este aceasta (locatii concrete cu litere normale, regiuni CU LITERE MARI):

Berlin > BRANDENBURG > LAUSITZ > Schluckenauer Zipfel/Šluknovský výběžek > ČECHY(BOHEMIA) > WALDVIERTEL > Wien/Bratislava > BURGENLAND > STEIERMARK > KÄRNTEN/KOROŠKA > Ljubljana > Zagreb > SAVA RIVER / SLAVONIA) > Brčko > Beograd > Novi Sad > BANAT > Timișoara > ........ TRANSILVANIA ? > Cluj ?

Rugam sa vizitati pagina despre ruta (http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/?page_id=1149) pentru:

* un plan detaliat pe zile (pe care il actualizam constant, atunci cand avem confirmari de la proiecte, activitati si locuri de dormit)
* harti generale si harti regionale detaliate (avem in plan sa scanam si incarcam pe site materiale pe care sa le puteti tipari si aduce cu voi. Daca aveti harti detaliate pentru regiuni (trasee pentru biciclete) va rugam sa ni le trimiteti scanate!)

HAIDETI IN JOC, UMPLETI SPATIILE GOALE! AJUTATI-NE CU AJUSTARILE DE FINETE PENTRU PLANIFICAREA TRASEULUI

Intre locatiile fixe uneori avem nevoie de locuri de dormit pentru traseele mai lungi de o zi intre proiectele interesante. Aveti idee ... spre exemplu intre Bautzen si Ústí nad Labem (preferabil in zona Schluckenauer Zipfel/Šluknovský výběžek) ... intre Praga, Tabor si WALDVIERTEL? ... intre Ljubljana si Zagreb (preferabil de-a lungul raului Sava in SLOVENIA)?
