''On Jan 2016, Candid sent this email to the list, worth to save it on wiki''

This page is meant to be an overview over all the online resources that we
will use for preparing 2016's biketour.

=The Wiki=

The Wiki is available on https://wiki.ecotopiabiketour.net/. Anyone can read
anything, and anyone can edit anything after registering a user account.

The Wiki is an information resource that contains information that is relevant
for preparing the Biketour. We might use it to write down what needs to be
done, to collect texts for the Booklet, to create templates for e-mails to
send to projects, and to keep records of our process for the future to read.

As all parts of the Wiki are public, some things (such as passwords) can
currently not be published there and are circulating in various other
channels. Thus I think it would be cool to create an area on the Wiki that
only approved members can access. I will look into it.

=Task list=

I think the easiest way to coordinate tasks might be to just put them on this
Wiki page: https://wiki.ecotopiabiketour.net/Tasks_2016

=Map of projects=

We can collect projects on this map: https://pad.facilmap.org/3UZL85wKAC2K.

=2016@ecotopiabiketour.net e-mail address=

In the call-outs to get involved, the e-mail address 2016@ecotopiabiketour.net
is used. You can read e-mails that arrive on that address by logging in on
https://mail.ecotopiabiketour.net/

You can also use this e-mail address to send e-mails to projects. This can be
more convenient than using your personal e-mail address, as all the e-mail
communication with a particular project can be found in one place.

=info@ecotopiabiketour.net e-mail address=

The e-mail address info@ecotopiabiketour.net is written in some places on the
website, and the contact form on the website sends e-mails to it. E-mails
coming in on it are fowarded to all @ecotopiabiketour.net addresses (many
former organisers have one). If you respond to such an e-mail (from the
2016@ecotopiabiketour.net address), make sure to use the "Reply to All"
function. This way, a copy of your response will be sent back to
info@ecotopiabiketour.net, so everyone else who received the original e-mail
can see that you responded to it (so they won't send a second response).

=Bt-Org list=

E-mails sent to bt-org@lists.eyfa.org will be sent to currently 49 people who
are interested in supporting the preparation of future Biketours.

There is an **archive of old mails** on https://vps1.eyfa.org/mailman/private/
bt-org/. It can be accessed using your e-mail address and your mailing list
password. You probably don't have a mailing list password yet, in that case go
to https://vps1.eyfa.org/mailman/listinfo/bt-org, type in your e-mail address
at the bottom where it says "Unsubscribe or edit options", and on the next
page click on "Remind".

If **new people want to join** the list, the current procedure is that they
send an e-mail to bt-org@lists.eyfa.org or have someone forward it there where
they briefly introduce themselves (“Hi, my name is Candid, I was on Biketours
2013–2015 and would like to join the list to help prepare 2016.") If no one
objects, this person can be added to the list. Currently only some people (for
example me) have the administration password to add people to the list, the
password might be shared in the future. Note: If non-members write their
introduction to bt-org@lists.eyfa.org, someone who has the administrator
password has to approve the mail.

=The Biketour list=

The **General Biketour list** has the address biketour@lists.eyfa.org. Sending
an e-mail to that address reaches currently 776 people who are interested in
receiving updates about the Biketour. In reaction to every e-mail that we
send, several people sign off the list, so traffic should be kept to important
announcements and call-outs regarding the upcoming tour.

People can **subscribe** to the list by using the subscription form on the
right side on the front page of the website.

=The Website=

The website is available on https://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/. It should
contain all the information that (potential) future participants need to know.
The section "Ecotopia Biketour" contains information about the tour in
general, and the section "2016" should contain information about the upcominng
tour and should be updated regularly with current decisions about the route.

To **edit the website**, you need to register (https://
www.ecotopiabiketour.net/wp/wp-login.php?action=register) and then tell your
username to the Bt-Org list. Someone can then make you an Editor (can create,
edit and delete posts and pages, but cannot administrate the website, such as
adding items to the menu) or an Administrator.

After being made an Editor or Administrator, in order to **edit a page**, log
in by clicking the "Login" link on the very bottom of the page, and then click
the "Edit" button in the black bar on top of the page that you would like to
edit. In ordr to **add a page**, click on "New" and then on "Page" in the
black bar on top of the page, If you want you page to appear in the menu,
move the mouse over "Ecotopia Biketour" in the black bar and click on "Menus",
select the page on the left and click "Add to Menu" and then drag it from the
bottom of the page to the place where you would like to see it. Don't forget
to press "Save Menu" at the end.

The website is translated into **multiple languages**. Most translations are
not up to date. Feel free to take care of them by selecting a language on the
top left of the screen.

On the right side of the front page, there is a section **Upcoming Events**.
You can create new events by clicking "New" → "Event" in the black bar on top
of the page. The other sections on the right side of the front page can be
edited by hovering "Ecotopia Biketour" in the black bar and clicking on
"Widgets" and editing the "Blue Sidebar" there.

=Facebook=

Biketour has a Facebook page on https://www.facebook.com/ecotopia.biketour/.
Many of us see Facebook very critically, but a lot of people can be reached by
it (currently 2326 people are subscribed to our page), and in many places it
is actually the only way to actively reach people online. Any content posted
on Facebook should always be made available also in other places, such as the
Website and (in some cases) the Biketour list.

Blog posts from the website are currently automatically be posted on Facebook.

In order to post something on the Facebook page, you need to be made an
Editor, in order to edit the cover photo and the description you need to be
made an Administrator of the page. Several of us are Administrators and can
add you, just ask over the Bt-Org list.

=Twitter=

The Biketour also has a Twitter account, https://twitter.com/biketour, which
seems to reach quite some people as well. I don't have the password, and I
don't know who does, but it seems to automatically post anything that is
posted on Facebook, so we don't need to administrate it.

== '''New way of organising''' ==

In brief, we would suggest that the organising to be DECENTRALISED, made
more HORIZONTAL and be more true to the VALUES and COLLECTIVE
organisation aspired to on the Biketour itself.

*Open and horizontal group
**anyone can join (past organisers or
**:participants, local and regional contacts etc.). In the best case at
**:least 7 people would work together remotely from different locations.

*The organisation process would start as soon as this year's Biketour
*:ends so as not to lose momentum and so that there is a longer period of
*:time to sort out the tour.

*A start up group of a few people who know now that they wish to be
*:part of an organising group would advertise for more people to join the
*:group via the BT email lists and in the countries of the BT 2015 (with
*:flyers etc). The Autumn meeting will be an opportunity for the group to
*:meet and discuss how to go from there. We would propose that to make
*:this organisational structure possible, the region will have to be
*:decided soon, as well as a date for the Autumn meeting, in order to
*:invite people from the region to the meeting and start with the
*:collectivisation and decentralising of the organisation. We propose the
*:long weekend from the 28th of November to the 1st of December. After the
*:Autumn meeting, the preparation of the Biketour would start.

*The work should be split into as small as possible tasks and managed
*:in a tasklist, to make it as easy as possible to take on responsibility.
*:The online organising could be simplified to one platform (potentially
*:Krankenstein).

*Possibly, there could be a rotating system of people responsible for
*:overseeing that there are no gaps in organising and for making roles
*:clear. This is something that the organisation group would decide.

*The group would communicate regularly online. Due to difficulties with
*:the email server this year, the server will have be reviewed.

* Visits could be made to projects/regions
**funding for this and other
**:expenses would be deciding as and when the money is needed, but no EVS
**:money would be taken this year.

== '''Region''' ==

The suggestion has been made to go to Scandinavia and/or the Baltic states on next year's biketour. Maldova, the Ukraine and Belarus were also suggested as possibilities. If you have any ideas of projects to visit on in these regions, please add them below.

<nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here</nowiki>=== Suggestions for projects to visit next year ===

Copenhagen - a small residential collective with bike workshop inside the city (Bethlehem collective) and a large cultural and environmental collective outside of the city (Makvarket)
finland eco villages and
artist place are
enthousiastic about
our project and willing to help us.

if ferry prices affects route choice
we might be able to find
local help in the form
of a van and trailor
to bord the ferry and
decrease the cost of
individual bike transport
or/and participants could
collect
old broken umbrellas material
and make
a light compact bicycle bag
taking the wheels off,
and then carry it
over the shoulder
as a free luggage
rather than a paying bicycle
(this is the technique I use)

== '''Inspiration for 2015 and thoughts from the peanut gallery''' ==

I thought you'd enjoy the story of [http://www.davidsheen.com/sharing/interviews/ethan.htm Ethan Hughes and the super hero ride across the US--]. Or just search for 'Ethan Hughes' and 'possibility alliance' or 'haul of justice'. A bunch of people set off across the US on bicycles, dressed as superheros, with a goal of helping whoever needed help--regardless of social/economic status or whether the help-needed was "conventional" (changing a flat tire of a car, building a traditional building) or more eco-friendly. Ethan and others have since founded an electricity-free, fossil-fuel-free farm in missouri called "the possibility alliance".

Also-- it occurred to me that you probably don't need total decentralization, just better distribution and variety of centralized and decentralized experiences. Perhaps have a meeting location like La ZAD where everyone could gather and stay for a week and then plan the rest of the ride. So the first half (month) of ecotopia could be smaller groups getting themselves to the meeting location. The second half could be organized based on input of anyone who manages to get themselves to the meeting location. In a way that might be like going back to how ecotopia started-- a bike ride to a gathering. The cargo bike collective in Vienna seemed particularly well informed about various bike-related gatherings happening in 2014 (everyone seems to invite them to any bike-related happening). They knew of a week or two long bike-related gathering or bike circus happening somewhere in bulgaria or romania. I met them at [http://pedalafest.eu/en/ Pedala Fest] in Zagreb in June. Consider also what ecotopia might be like without any funding. Maybe that funding actually causes some problems that wouldn't exist otherwise.

Speaking for myself-- I made it to the 2014 organizing meeting but not the ride, and managed to participate in part of Velokarawane-- I probably cannot tolerate a very centralized trip structure. I like that BT appears to sign a route so that everyone need not stay together the whole day. I would often leave and rejoin Velokarawane to get enough "decentralized" or personal time. I found it hard to go from long-term solo travel to spending a lot of time in a group. Hence my proposal of making ecotopia more of a gathering in one place (for at least part of it) once more. I have no idea whether I'll be able to participate much in 2015. But I wonder how these rides can be managed to avoid burnout and to encourage repeat participation. If the main goal were to encourage european bike and car-free culture might the result be something different than a two-month long bike ride?

Also--wouldn't it be cool if there could be a summer gathering of bike tours--Velokarawane, ecotopia, and even the more formal paid ones--cycling alternatives? -- plus a travelling bike circus or band or two?

=== Route possibilites from spring meeting 2014 ===

At the spring meeting in Thessaloniki in March 2014 we came to the following outlines of possible routes for 2014, based on the knowledge and/or contacts of a few projects we had. We aimed for about 1500 km in the outlines, which will surely become longer anyway once we fix more exact routes.
There are two possible starting points: either on the western Balkan coast in Montenegro/Crna Gora close to Albania or in Sofija. There are also two possible final destinations, those being the two major big cities: either Athens or Istanbul. This makes up for 4, actually 5 of the following graphs, one of them trying to be both in Montenegro and Sofija, thus also a bit longer. The 6th option is a round trip from Thessaloniki through the northern neighbouring countries and back.
All of those are preliminary, based on only few contacts, so anyone who could contribute any arguments as to why we should or should not go to a certain area/choose a certain route please post a comment here below the links.

==== I really like the idea of going to ... ====

* from Montenegro via Macedonia Albania bulgria Kosovo to Istanbul for a diversity of culture and history approach to crisis
* Athens, since I found a lot of contacts there and on the way in the past few days. People in Greece say Istanbul is more active at the moment (on a distant judgement) but the biketour has been there in 2008 and never to any of the many places in the centre of Greece that have been established recently as people want to show that alternative living is possible, partly as a response to the crisis (sml)
* ...
* ...

==== We should avoid ... ====
* ... (that's me)
* ...Flatire, broknspoke, Downhilbendfall,
* ...

==== I prefer this option because ... ====
* Personally, I prefer not to make a bucle-close (circle) Tour... for envolving more regions. (kbra)
* personally.a combination of a few proposed routes
* on last year experience not many participants after 15th of august. lets do the most in the south Balkans. universities stop In june and end of august many need to head home..so why not a mid June start??
- could have been something to think about but with the state of the coordination just getting started we won't manage this. it is going to be rather a later start mid/end of July. which on the other hand has the advantage of September being cooler in the hot Southern Balkans and the heavy holiday season along the coast in Greece finishing, so also less traffic on the roads (sml)
* again on last year experience places with no project planned ..lead to more exchange with local ie BrCKO and within the group
- the late start might also lead to a spread of the number of participants less worrying for welcoming projects.

=== Route / Region / Theme Ideas ===

The route and theme of this year's tour is not yet decided but we are looking to visit projects, join up with grassroots campaigns, NGOs and social movements and communities relevant to structural (economic/political) or personal (e.g. poverty as a result of austerity) crises and how people are finding creative solutions to coping with its effects or fighting against it. We will also revisit themes that we have seen in previous biketours such as 'degrowth', public debt, austerity, economic refugees, minorities and solidarity.

What we do know is that we will be organising the tour from Thessaloniki in Northern Greece from March and will begin cycling in July, or possibly the beginning of August. Where we head to will depend on projects and opportunities we find to visit - and this all depends on the ideas that come from everyone....

If you can think of any places / people / communities / projects / activists in the southern Balkans area that we should visit to learn from, take part in actions or to lend a hand in some way, then put them on the list below or email team-2014@ecotopiabiketour.net (or both!). If you can't, but you know someone who can, perhaps someone living in this part of Europe, please ask them to share information so that we can consider their ideas, along with all of the other options, at our meeting in March.

=== Theme Ideas ====
* Crisis and Creative Solution Approaches

=== Project Visit Ideas ===
We will not display names of projects/organisations on the Wiki until we have had confirmation from them that this is ok. So, in these planning stages, can you recommend any places / people / communities / projects / activists in the southern Balkans area that we should visit to learn from, take part in actions or to lend a hand in some way? If you can't, but you know someone who can, perhaps someone living in this part of Europe, please do ask them to share information so that we can consider their ideas, along with all of the other options, at our meeting in March.

== Spring meeting 2014 ==

Dear ecotopians,

we just finished our autumn meeting this year to discuss how we will organise ecotopia biketour 2014 - any contributions are welcome - and one of the points agreed there was that we will find a date and time for the SPRING MEETING as kick-off on next year's tour early enough so people can plan to be a part of it.
The spring meeting will focus on the topic of the biketour, how we want bt days to be structured e.g. how long do we want to stay at projects and how far do we want to go, and of course route options.

=== Where & When? ===

We have now set a date and place for the SPRING MEETING:

Thessaloniki, Greece - where the tour will be co-ordinated from.
13-16th March

Concrete ideas in WHICH SPACE in a city it could take place are still being discussed. We have a potential venue, but if you do know of anywhere which could host meetings or people, write your suggestions here....

There will be places to stay for the Spring Meeting. The idea is to stay for as long as you can/want, not to feel like you have to come for all four days. Also we hope to find space so that people can stay on after to help with co-ordination if they'd like to. What accommdation there will be for biketour coordinators will become clearer in the beginning of March.

== Route possibilites from spring meeting 2014 ==

At the spring meeting in Thessaloniki in March 2014 we came to the following outlines of possible routes for 2014, based on the knowledge and/or contacts of a few projects we had. We aimed for about 1500 km in the outlines, which will surely become longer anyway once we fix more exact routes.
There are two possible starting points: either on the western Balkan coast in Montenegro/Crna Gora close to Albania or in Sofija. There are also two possible final destinations, those being the two major big cities: either Athens or Istanbul. This makes up for 4, actually 5 of the following graphs, one of them trying to be both in Montenegro and Sofija, thus also a bit longer. The 6th option is a round trip from Thessaloniki through the northern neighbouring countries and back.
All of those are preliminary, based on only few contacts, so anyone who could contribute any arguments as to why we should or should not go to a certain area/choose a certain route please post a comment here below the links.

Taborda: Reverted edits by Domtheo (talk) to last revision by Greg

DRAFT ROUTE PROPOSAL! dates, places and activities can still change a bit. Big cities are easiest to start joining biketour: Belgrade, Skopje, Ohrid (Struga), Durres (as we are there a few days and only one afternoon in Tirana), Podgorica, Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Zagreb. Of course you can be adventurous and join us from other places - but please let us know in advance.

== Serbia ==
* 5 July Belgrade

* 6 July Belgrade
::Critical Mass through Belgrade center
::take a train to Skopje [http://www.serbianrailways.com/active/en/home/glavna_navigacija/putnicki_saobracaj/unutrasnji_saobracaj/node_1226488208.html]
:: Start at 10:00 PM from Belgrade train station on 6.07.09. and arrive on 07.07.09. at Skopje around 6:50 AM. This is a direct train with 2nd class only seated accommodation, Sleeping-car and Couchettes. '''Price per person approx € 20,-''' (not yet clear about bikes)
:: '''Nb. we initially planned to start BT in Skopje'''. But as we thought that many participants will come over Belgrade, we planned to facilitate the transport BG-Skopje, by trying to get a train together. This we then also can present as campaign to promote bike transport per train. After that (...) we also thought to add an action in Belgrade on the lack of integrated transport policy. However, our initial plan was just to facilitate the transport to Skopje.
:: Conclusion: we don't have money for this train trip. If you are coming from the south of Serbia, maybe its smarter to head/stay in Skopje and join the biketour there, instead of going to Belgrade, and immediately take the train ''back'' to Skopje. But of course you are welcome in Belgrade, we love to have you, just then be ready for some expenses for yourself.

=2013 EVS Biketour International Coordinators needed - Apply Now!=

Greetings bicycle lovers,

While we all get excited about the upcoming Ecotopia Biketour 2012 through Catalunya, France and Italy, the wheels are already in motion for next year's cycling adventures. Ecotopia Biketour 2013 is looking for volunteers to help make this happen through the European Voluntary Service scheme.

Every summer for over 20 years the Ecotopia Biketour has been promoting sustainable living throughout Europe. Pedalling through a different part of the continent every year, the Biketour is for anyone interested in do-it-yourself culture, social and ecological justice. Moving all our stuff by muscle power, the Biketour links with local environmental campaigns en route by both taking part in and organising actions and workshops. We create an international, mobile eco-community while visiting interesting places on our way: alternative, environmental, artistic projects and communities, natural areas and people struggling for ecological and social justice.

The theme and the route of the Biketour 2013 is open to be shaped by our ideas and inspiration.

The EVS position would ideally begin in January 2013 and last for 1 year.

We are looking for another 1 or 2 international co-ordinators to do EVS, and each volunteer will need to have an EVS "sending" organisation in their home country.

Biketour 2013 will be organised from Berlin in the office of [http://eyfa.org/organization EYFA]. The ecotopia biketour coordinators will be be involved in the day to day running of EYFA and also helping to organise and fundraise for international gatherings and events planned by EYFA, especially in the first and final months when there is less to do with the biketour.

The EVS scheme will fund travel expenses to the host country, accommodation, food, insurance and pocket money for the volunteer. However, the position is not officially ‘paid.' The EVS scheme is open to those who are between 18 - 30 years old and live in a european country. If you are not in this category, get in touch as there are many other ways to get involved than through EVS so please contact us for more information.

The role of the EVS volunteers will involve:
* Helping to find a suitable EVS 'host' organisation where you will be based
* Getting to know local environmental campaigns in the region
* Participating in on-arrival EVS training
* Help organise and take part in a winter meeting of Biketour organisers and participants
* Update the Biketour community as the organisation progresses
* Updating/maintaining the Biketour website, and online social network accounts
* Keep information and media produced on the biketour wiki so future organisers may use it
* Writing funding applications
* Assisting Biketour participants with securing visas
* Promoting the Biketour on a European level
* Identifying groups/organisers in different countries and providing them with support
* Maintaining contact with different national/local groups and organising meetings
* (Possibly) cycle part of the route of the tour to test suitability, get know the hills etc.
* Assisting in the search for (preferably free) sleeping space along the route for 20+ cyclists, (ie: community projects, farms, squats, campsites, schools, community-halls etc.)
* Co-ordinate the Biketour's participation in actions and campaigns along the route, together with local activists (ie: Critical Mass, demonstrations, banners, leaflets, campaigns)
* Co-ordinate the translation of materials into local languages
* Responding to relevant enquiries from organisations of individuals
* Improving your skills of the host organisation's language
* Helping with the host organisation's other projects
* Co-ordinate the registration of participants
* Helping create and distributing route maps to biketour participants in summer 2013
* Take part in the entire biketour summer 2013
* follow up after the tour by writing relevant funding reports, uploading media to the website, and handing over tasks to the next international co-ordinators.

Our EVS volunteers must like bicycles and cycling, be good communicators and be willing to take the lead in organising an international project. They must agree with [http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/join-us/participation-guidelines the principles of the Biketour] and ideally have participated in the Ecotopia Biketour before. It is extremely advantageous to to participate in [http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/2012/05/07/registration-open the tour this summer] for at least a couple of weeks if you have not done so before.

Required skills:
* Speak and write well in English, as it is the common language of most Biketour participants
* Ability to communicate by email and telephone (mostly in English) and to organise parts of biketour from a distance as necessary
* Experience of online tools such as email-lists, maintaining websites, online forms, wikis, social network sites, blogging, etc
* Be able to work in a team and good at taking initiative
* Be able to make links with the local community and local activists
* Experience of building local campaigns and organising events or actions
* Experience in consensus decision making

Advantageous skills:
* Experience of bicycle-touring or participation in the Ecotopia Biketour
* Experience in producing leaflets, posters, press-releases and other written or visual materials
* Ability to speak and write languages of the route, and other European languages
* Ability to inspire other people to get active in organising the tour so there are more helping hands

Please do not hesitate to apply if you do not have all these skills but are willing and eager to learn. This is a great opportunity to gain skills and experience.

If you would like to apply for the position of International Co-ordinator for the 2013 Biketour, please email a letter of motivation with the subject "Biketour 2013 EVS" to info[at]ecotopiabiketour.net. Please include your relevant skills and experience, the name of your sending organisation (or one that you are in contact with) and as many contact details as possible.

Applications should be sent as soon as possible and must be received by end of August 2012.

+ Why are we touring by bicycle? +

# Because it will be a crazy awesome adventure.
# We want to influence by example: if we can travel hundreds of km from one place to the next hauling loads of gear, surely you can manage to ride your bike to go grocery shopping a few km down the road!
# The revolution will be pedal powered.

==The route==

[[Degrowth Workshop]] Can Decreix 21st July

There is a big Degrowth conference from 19th-23rd September 2012, Research and Degrowth here in Barcelona are involved with organising this and it has been proposed that this is the final destination of the tour. We aim to find a camp outside of town to unite us rather than scattering through the city. We would link with the conference with some kind of action and negotiate free entry for BT participants for part of the conference.

BT 2012 workshop notes

2014-03-24T11:25:39Z

Taborda:

This workshop was held on a rest day towards the end of bt 2011 in a beautiful place by the lake. I wanted to get some feedback about the tour and hear what people had to say about making the next year (2012) even better. Valentina has written a summary of her experiences helping to organise the tour which you can find [[Valentina%27s_Report_of_BT_2011_-_Italia|here]]. There were about 16 people participating and while we covered a lot we missed out some points as the other discussions took longer than I anticipated (as they always do!. We wrote on scraps of card which I took [http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/g/main.php?g2_itemId=30541 photos] of, here is what we did/talked about:

==What have you found difficult?==
*Workshops don't happen - some people are less motivated
*Not enough time made for discussion
*Responsibilities are not always clear
*Stressful at times (can be positive) - lots of pressure on organisers
*Circles are hard
*Decisions take a long time/not consensus
*Not a good balance of personal/group time
*Consensus difficult
*Hard to be part of group/self time/cycling time
*Strong different opinions too much of the time
*Fast/slow cyclist division
*We are too rushed
*Communication is unclear which leads to misunderstandings
*Not enough workshops
*Loose lot of time on waiting for people, loose lots of energy
*Food takes a long time - shopping/preparing
*People need to be more flexible
*Language barriers are difficult, it's hard to be included
*Not enough communication
*We go too fast past beautiful places
*We are always late, we should stick to a better schedule

==What would you like to see next year?==

===Route===
*Have a clear route & photocopy for all (this way you don't loose energy planning the route)
*Maps for all!
*Fixed resting days
*Make good BT road markings
*Prepare the route in advance
*Focus on getting to know the area
*50km average 30-80km/day

*Be more active with the topic on the road
*More direct action
*Contact local groups
*Small ecotopia at the final spot

===group dynamics===
*Clarify visions at the beginning
*Not be a group of tourists, focus on ecology and the current theme
*There should a new arrival person (tell new people about bt & what has happened) to prevent misunderstandings
*Be better at introducing new people to the group
*Try and be more of a group
*Be clear what tasks there are to do

===Money===
*1 person should take care of finances
*Make it more affordable

===Publicity/communication===
*Make sure that the website (FB, twitter etc) is updated - who does this?
*Advertise in countries in BT is not so well known

===Other===
*Trailer, get a new trailer?
*Have better awareness of road safety - crossroads, rules of the country
*Get insurance for the group or suggest that people get their own

==Degrowth theme==

*People were happy with the theme
*We need a good explanation/introduction prepared (as it's not very commonly known)
*We need a balance between theory and practice
*It would be good to be able to explain it in a creative way
*Focus on the practical things about degrowth (use a DIY shower system, skill shares for example)
*Build a rocket stove for the tour when we meet

==Location/route==

*Allow lots of time, always better to plan more time
*2.5 months is too long, 2 months is lots of time
*It's good to have a long tour, it can start early for people that can't normally make it
*It's a long way for a 'degrowth' topic
*I don't like the idea of boat as it won't be a sailing boat, it's like taking a bus
*It's important that people stay a minimum of 2 weeks as it's a process
*Booklet should be emailed to all participants before + copies printed

==Ideas for specific locations (added to route map)==

*Camp along the canal in cevennes & Arrigas in the south of France
*Contact Ecologistas in accion

DIY PEDAL-POWERED

ACTIVIST COMMUNITY

ECOTOPIABIKETOUR.NET

BERLIN > SOUTH EAST

JULY - SEPTEMBER 2013

Ecotopia Biketour is an eco-mobile do-it-yourself (self-managed) activist community cycling every summer for 20 years. We aim to learn from each other and the local groups we visit, supporting their campaigns in creative ways. We carry all of our equipment on '''bikes & trailers''' and make '''group decisions by consensus'''.

From July to September, we will cycle from '''Berlin''' to '''South-east Europe''' (Serbia, Romania or Slovenia) whilst sharing skills and experiences from environmentalism; activism; and ecological and social justice. We will visit projects and aim to inspire action towards '''economic equality'''; '''solidarity'''; the '''commons'''; '''anticapitalism''' and '''freedom''' amongst other topics to raise collectively related to this year's theme '''Beyond Borders'''!

A project for everyone interested in being part of a community and travelling without engines – '''the exact opposite of an all-inclusive flight to the beach'''!

CYCLING EVERY SUMMER FOR 23 YEARS

DIY-TOUR AUF RÄDERN

FÜR AKTIVIST_INNEN

Berlin > Südosten (*über Kroatien nach Rumänien oder auf den Balkan ; to be concretised, once decided)

12. JULI - SEPTEMBER

„BEYOND BORDERS“

Die Ecotopia Biketour ist eine Gruppe mobiler und sich ökologisch bewusst fortbewegender Aktivist_innen, die seit 23 Jahren jeden Sommer eine längere Fahrradreise veranstaltet. Unser Ziel ist es, voneinander und von den Gruppen, die wir besuchen, zu lernen, während wir ihre Kampagnen auf kreative Weise unterstützen. Wir transportieren unsere ganze Ausrüstung mit Fahrrädern und Fahrradanhängern und treffen Gruppenentscheidungen nach dem Konsens-Prinzip.

Von Juli bis September werden wir von Berlin nach Südosteuropa (*entweder Rumänien oder den Balkan ; to be concretised, once decided) fahren. Dabei teilen wir unsere Erfahrungen in Bezug auf Umweltschutz, Aktivismus, und ökologische und soziale Gerechtigkeit miteinander. Ebenfalls werden wir für diese Felder konkrete Fähigkeiten voneinander lernen.
Wir werden u.a. Projekte zu den Themen wirtschaftliche Gleichheit, Solidarität, Gemeingüter, Antikapitalismus und Frieden besuchen, sowie solche, die mit unserem diesjährigen Motto „Beyond Borders“ zusammenhängen. Außerdem wollen wir uns und Andere zum Handeln inspirieren!

Ein Projekt für alle, die Interesse an einer Gruppe haben, die sich ohne Motoren fortbewegt - '''genau das Gegenteil einer All-Inclusive-Flugreise an den Strand!'''

Ecotopia Biketour je do-it-yourself (samosprávná) aktivistická komunita zaměřená na ekologickou formu přepravy, cestující již přes dvacet let každé léto na kolech. Naším cílem je učit se jak od sebe navzájem, tak i od místních skupin, které navštívíme a tvořivým způsobem podporovat jejich kampaně. Veškeré naše vybavení přepravujeme n'''a kolech a ve vozících''' a '''rozhodování probíhá skupinově pomocí konsenzu'''.

Od července do září pojedeme na kolech z Berlína na jihovýchod Evropy (Srbsko, Rumunsko nebo Slovinsko) a cestou se budeme dělit o své dovednosti a zkušenosti z oblasti ochrany životního prostředí, aktivismu a ekologické a sociální spravedlnosti. Navštívíme projekty zaměřené na ekonomickou rovnost, solidaritu, společné vlastnictví, antikapitalismus a svobodu i jiné, které souvisejí s naším letošním mottem "Mimo hranice!" Kromě toho chceme také inspirovat ostatní k akci!

Projekt pro všechny, které zajímá fungování ve skupině a cestují bez motoru - '''pravý opak all-inclusive letu na pláž!'''

CESTUJEME NA KOLECH KAŽDÉ LÉTO JIŽ 23 LET

PŘIDEJ SE A POJEĎ S NÁMI

12. JULIJ - SEPTEMBER 2013
ONKRAJ MEJA

Ecotopia Biketour je ekološko-mobilna naredi-sam aktivistična skupnost, ki kolesari vsako poletje že 20 let. Stremimo k vzajemnemu učenju drug od drugega in lokalne skupnosti, ki jih obiščemo in s tem podpremo njihove kampanje na kreativen način. Vso našo opremo prevažamo na kolesih in prikolicah, odličitve znotrja skupine pa sprejemamo na podlagi konsenza.

Od julija do septembra bomo kolesarili od Berlina do Jugovzhodne Evrope (Srbija, Romunija ali Slovenija) in medsebojno delili znanje in izkušnje o okoljevarstvu, aktivizmu in ekološki ter družbeni pravičnosti. Med drugim bomo obiskali projekte, ki se ukvarjajo z ekonomsko enakostjo, solidarnostjo, javnim dobrim, antikapitalizmom in svobodo in hkrati spodbujali tovrstne aktivnosti v skladu z letošnjim motom Onkraj meja!

Projekt je namenjen vsem, ki si želijo biti del skupnosti in potovati brez motorjev - točno nasprotje poleta na plažo "vse vključeno".

KOLESARIMO VSAKO POLETJE ŽE 23 LET

Екотопія Байктур то є еко-мобільна самоврядна(самокерована) дружина, яка педалює щоліта вже 20 років.
Наша мета – перейняти досвід всіх чуваків, до яких ми заїжджаємо, підтримати креативно їхні двіжухи. Всі наші шмотки і причандали веземо на вєліках & причепах, і всі рішення у нас приймаються разом (« почую кожного»).
З липня до вересня помандруємо на вєліках з Берліна до Південної і Південно-Східної Європи(Сербія, Румунія чи Словенія), розказуючи всім, як треба правильно займатися питанням навколишнього середовища, як не биць скотам, не викидать бутилки в Дніпро і ходить на вибори. Ми будемо заїжджати на двіжухи/проекти, щоб помогти в досягненні економічної рівності, солідарності пролетаріату, сказати ні олігархам, а також за смерть або свободу по будь-яким питанням, щоб ми всі разом розвивали цьогорічну тему Без кордонів!
Це проект для всіх чуваків і чувіх, які їздять без палива – нафіг задовбали тури олінклюзєр з п’яними бидлюками!

ACTIVIST COMMUNITY

ECOTOPIABIKETOUR.NET

BERLIN > SOUTH EAST

JULY - SEPTEMBER 2013

Ecotopia Biketour is an eco-mobile do-it-yourself (self-managed) activist community cycling every summer for 20 years. We aim to learn from each other and the local groups we visit, supporting their campaigns in creative ways. We carry all of our equipment on '''bikes & trailers''' and make '''group decisions by consensus'''.

From July to September, we will cycle from '''Berlin''' to '''South-east Europe''' (Serbia, Romania or Slovenia) whilst sharing skills and experiences from environmentalism; activism; and ecological and social justice. We will visit projects and aim to inspire action towards '''economic equality'''; '''solidarity'''; the '''commons'''; '''anticapitalism''' and '''freedom''' amongst other topics to raise collectively related to this year's theme '''Beyond Borders'''!

A project for everyone interested in being part of a community and travelling without engines – '''the exact opposite of an all-inclusive flight to the beach'''!

CYCLING EVERY SUMMER FOR 23 YEARS

DIY-TOUR AUF RÄDERN

FÜR AKTIVIST_INNEN

Berlin > Südosten (*über Kroatien nach Rumänien oder auf den Balkan ; to be concretised, once decided)

12. JULI - SEPTEMBER

„BEYOND BORDERS“

Die Ecotopia Biketour ist eine Gruppe mobiler und sich ökologisch bewusst fortbewegender Aktivist_innen, die seit 23 Jahren jeden Sommer eine längere Fahrradreise veranstaltet. Unser Ziel ist es, voneinander und von den Gruppen, die wir besuchen, zu lernen, während wir ihre Kampagnen auf kreative Weise unterstützen. Wir transportieren unsere ganze Ausrüstung mit Fahrrädern und Fahrradanhängern und treffen Gruppenentscheidungen nach dem Konsens-Prinzip.

Von Juli bis September werden wir von Berlin nach Südosteuropa (*entweder Rumänien oder den Balkan ; to be concretised, once decided) fahren. Dabei teilen wir unsere Erfahrungen in Bezug auf Umweltschutz, Aktivismus, und ökologische und soziale Gerechtigkeit miteinander. Ebenfalls werden wir für diese Felder konkrete Fähigkeiten voneinander lernen.
Wir werden u.a. Projekte zu den Themen wirtschaftliche Gleichheit, Solidarität, Gemeingüter, Antikapitalismus und Frieden besuchen, sowie solche, die mit unserem diesjährigen Motto „Beyond Borders“ zusammenhängen. Außerdem wollen wir uns und Andere zum Handeln inspirieren!

Ein Projekt für alle, die Interesse an einer Gruppe haben, die sich ohne Motoren fortbewegt - '''genau das Gegenteil einer All-Inclusive-Flugreise an den Strand!'''

12. JULIJ - SEPTEMBER 2013
ONKRAJ MEJA

Ecotopia Biketour je ekološko-mobilna naredi-sam aktivistična skupnost, ki kolesari vsako poletje že 20 let. Stremimo k vzajemnemu učenju drug od drugega in lokalne skupnosti, ki jih obiščemo in s tem podpremo njihove kampanje na kreativen način. Vso našo opremo prevažamo na kolesih in prikolicah, odličitve znotrja skupine pa sprejemamo na podlagi konsenza.

Od julija do septembra bomo kolesarili od Berlina do Jugovzhodne Evrope (Srbija, Romunija ali Slovenija) in medsebojno delili znanje in izkušnje o okoljevarstvu, aktivizmu in ekološki ter družbeni pravičnosti. Med drugim bomo obiskali projekte, ki se ukvarjajo z ekonomsko enakostjo, solidarnostjo, javnim dobrim, antikapitalizmom in svobodo in hkrati spodbujali tovrstne aktivnosti v skladu z letošnjim motom Onkraj meja!

Projekt je namenjen vsem, ki si želijo biti del skupnosti in potovati brez motorjev - točno nasprotje poleta na plažo "vse vključeno".

KOLESARIMO VSAKO POLETJE ŽE 23 LET

З липня до вересня помандруємо на вєліках з Берліна до Південної і Південно-Східної Європи(Сербія, Румунія чи Словенія), розказуючи всім, як треба правильно займатися питанням навколишнього середовища, як не биць скотам, не викидать бутилки в Дніпро і ходить на вибори. Ми будемо заїжджати на двіжухи/проекти, щоб помогти в досягненні економічної рівності, солідарності пролетаріату, сказати ні олігархам, а також за смерть або свободу по будь-яким питанням, щоб ми всі разом розвивали цьогорічну тему Без кордонів!

Old Website

2013-06-19T14:08:55Z

Taborda: /* Wordpress website (the main site) */

The website is hosted by [http://www.ecobytes.net/offer Ecobytes] and has a Wordpress installation (admins are [[User:Eiland]] and [[User:Taborda]]

Till 2009 the website was static (some old version of the website can be found at [ecotopiabiketour.net/old]) [[User:Eiland]] made the first migration to wordpress. On 2012 [[User:Taborda]] made some changes on the design (we now use The Clear Line Theme) to make it more customizable without having to be too hard code, some plugins were also activated.

== domain name registration ==

[[User:joao|joao]] is paying currently the domain name, that he registered in 2007. It is registered [http://www.whois.net/whois/ecotopiabiketour.net until] '''07 Apr 2014'''
* In 2005 we start having problems with old domain www.thebiketour.net which is now hijacked
* During 2006 tour was possible to have online presence with former domain, but as future good communication with domain owner wasn't foreseeable BT come to a consensus in early 2007 about having a new "online name"
* Future plans include parking the domain at Ecobytes, together with the hosting service - this is curently beoing looked at for 2013

== Wordpress website (the main site) ==
At the moment, the [http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net BT site] runs on [http://wordpress.org wordpress]. The info here is only relevant for administrators of the website.

To become an editor of the website and be able to modify all texts, register yourself at http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/wp/wp-login.php?action=register, and ask one of the coordinators to upgrade your account to the level of an "editor", on which level you can modify all texts. If you have questions, send them by mail to taborda at ecotopiabiketour dot net

=== changing the menus ===

Only admins have permissions to change the menus (we can, and it's probably wise, to change this) new pages will not appear in the menu while an admin don't add it there (on the backoffice: Appearance->Menus)

=== facebook default image on share ===

facebook (and other social networks) try to get an image and show it as thumbnail when you share a link, to force it to show the correct image [[User:taborda]] followed [http://www.ehow.com/how_4938148_thumbnail-show-up-facebook-share.html this instructions] and add this line on the webpage theme header.php (on sftp /appdata/wordpress/wp-content/themes/biketour_2012/header.php)

<link rel="image_src" href="http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/biketour/2012/05/BT2012logo-social-en-e1337183509611.png" />

to clean facebook cached images for our website go [https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=www.ecotopiabiketour.net here]

WARNING: Adding an img_src share preview image may take away the ability to let users select from various images when sharing your site. This code tells sites which image to chose rather than gives the user some options.

== Used Wordpress plugins (or at least the most important) ==

These plugins were working fine on Wordpress 3.0.5 (bugs fixed manually by ecobytes) and shouldd keep working if it (hopefully) updated to a more recent WP version

=== Contact Form 7 ===
This plugin helps making forms to interact with website users, it's an alternative to wufoo.com (the service that was being used on last biketours, before 2012)

It's used on the Contact page, the registration and as a hack to bypass https untrusted conection to eyfa's mailling list subscribe

[[User:Taborda]] tested it on version 2.3.1 and used it with some other plugins

You can edit the diferent forms on the WP backoffice "Contact" menu, the forms are built on html mixed with an easy CF7 tag syntax.

==== Contact Form 7 Datepicker ====

adds a datepicker to the registration form

for the next years, don't forget to change the start day on the plugin settings

it has a problem with the url linking to an non-existing directory...

version tested: 0.7.4

==== Contact Form 7 to database extension ====

besides sending an email (the main funcionality of CF7) thisit also saves the form data onto a database (so anyone - with a password - can look at it on the Wordpress backoffice, left side, "Database" under "Contact"

version tested: 2.3

=== qTranslate ===
installed to be able to have a multi-language site...patched to show default language when no translation is available

the patch just work if language posts are EMPTY (to empty them you need to go into HTML view and also erase the annoying that keep on appearing when you edit something on a different language!!)

version tested: 2.5.15 (patched with this: http://www.qianqin.de/qtranslate/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1920)

=== Sub pages widget ===

used on the right menu to show sub-pages of the current page

version tested: 1.1

=== Sociable ===

adds links to facebook and other crap social networks to posts and pages

version tested: 3.5.2

=== Image Widget ===
allows adding images to sidebars and footers

version tested: 3.2.11

== Twitter ==
*History:
**Twitter was tested for the first time in 2006.
**But mainly used during 2007, with some tweaking, to allow multi-person delivery of SMS's while on the road (logistical coordination).
**In 2008 it was also used as a way of updating a blog, from the SMS sent while riding.
**Also in 2008, after the tour, Twitter stopped delivering SMS' to non-US mobiles... Therefore most of its initial use as a tool was lost.

*Accounts:
**Biketour has http://twitter.com/biketour
**and http://indenti.ca/biketour

*Use*
**From the road it is easy to update these accounts with an SMS to the twitter number (+44 762 4801423) but [http://support.twitter.com/articles/14589-how-to-add-your-phone-via-sms register] the number first with the BT twitter, to instantly update the BT family with the latest campsite of BT.
**However, Twitter has some issues with phone numbers from small countries, and this doesnt update identi.ca the free variant of twitter.
**Therefore, BT can also use ping.fm, which spreads an sms to +447786208201 from a [http://ping.fm/sms/intl/ verified mobile number] directly to Twitter, Identi.ca and the BT Facebook page.
**The username for twitter and identi.ca is <code>biketour</code>. For ping.fm it is <code>twitter@ecotopiabiketour.net</code>

*Future:
**There seems to have been a consensus on [[Winter Meeting 2013]], on not using twitter any longer
-----------
(taborda also thinks this is outdated)

To add your phone to our Twitter profile, follow these steps ([http://twitter.zendesk.com/forums/59008/entries/87284 source]) :

# Send a text to +44 762 4801423 with the word START.
# Wait 2 minutes.
# Next, send your username biketour to +44 762 4801423. Do not use @ or quotes. Send our username ONLY.
# Wait 2 minutes after sending your username.
# Next, send our password to the same number. This is case sensitive, so be sure you are sending your password correctly.
# Wait 2 minutes.
# Finally, send the word OK to the same number.

Then, if everything went alright, you can send twitter updates to +44 762 4801423

ACTIVIST COMMUNITY

ECOTOPIABIKETOUR.NET

BERLIN > SOUTH EAST

JULY - SEPTEMBER 2013

Ecotopia Biketour is an eco-mobile do-it-yourself activist community cycling every summer for 20 years. We aim to learn from each other and the local groups we visit, supporting their campaigns in creative ways. We carry all of our equipment on '''bikes & trailers''' and make '''group decisions by consensus'''.

From July to September, we will cycle from '''Berlin''' to '''South-east Europe''' (Serbia, Romania or Slovenia) whilst sharing skills and experiences from environmentalism; activism; and ecological and social justice. We will visit projects and aim to inspire action towards '''economic equality'''; '''solidarity'''; the '''commons'''; '''anticapitalism''' and '''freedom''' amongst other topics to raise collectively about this year's theme '''Beyond Borders'''!

A project for everyone interested in being part of a community and travelling without engines – '''the exact opposite of an all-inclusive flight to the beach'''!

CYCLING EVERY SUMMER FOR 23 YEARS

COMUNIDADE CICLO-ACTIVISTA

AUTOGESTIONADA

ECOTOPIABIKETOUR.NET

BERLIN > SUDOESTE EUROPEU

JULHO - SETEMBRO 2013

Ecotopia Biketour é uma comunidade nómada, DIY, ativista e ecológica que pedala todos os verões pela europa há mais de 20 anos. Queremos aprender entre todxs xs participantes e os projetos locais que visitamos, dando apoio às suas campanhas de forma criativa. Levamos todo o equipamento em '''bicicleta e atrelados''' e tomamos '''decisões por consenso'''.

De Julho a Setembro viajaremos de '''Berlin''' ao '''Sudoeste Europeu''' (Serbia, Romania ou Eslovénia) partilhando conhecimentos e experiencias ligadas ao activismo am e à justiça social e ecológica, visitando diversos projetos e inspirando ações relacionadas com o '''anticapitalismo''', a '''liberdade''', a '''iqualidade economica''', a '''solidariedade''' e a '''defesa do ambiente''' entre outro topicos relacionados com o tema deste ano '''Mais além das fronteiras''' (Beyond Borders)!

Um projeto para todas as pessoas interessadas em fazer parte de uma comunidade sustentável e viajar sem motores - o contrário de uma viajem "tudo-incluído" à praia!

==Welcome to the Working Wiki of the Ecotopia Biketour 2013!==

The Wiki provides us with '''detailed and internal practical information'''. All past and future participants are invited to work in this wiki in order to facilitate the planning and co-ordination of our tour.
* You can lean [[How to edit Wiki]] for contributing here

(''nb: to edit the wiki, you need to [[Special:Userlogin|login]] with your account. if you dont have one, you make it [[Special:Userlogin|here]])''

This '''is not the website for general info on the biketour!''' If you want to get a first overview or read stories from past years, go to our primary website ''www.ecotopiabiketour.net': [http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net]

*If you already know about the Biketour and want to get stuck in you can skip to:

'''!!!DATA REMINDER!!!
''This Wiki is a public space on the net. Be sensitive and responsible with the data you provide here. Think twice whether you, someone else or even groups/projects might have a problem (later) with information being posted here. Keep in mind that openness about information is a different thing from person to person and place to place and that unconscious handling of information can lead to problems later.''

==Basic Information==
So what is the Ecotopia Biketour? Here are some useful pages from our website...:
*[[What is bt]]?
*How to [[join]]
*[[What to bring]]
*[[Frequently asked questions]]
*[[Biketour history]]

== Organizing Ecotopia Biketour ==
This is a self-organized tour!

No club, no NGO, no political party. Just some people following an idea - since 1990!

''You are the biketour!

There is also two transnational coordinators working from Berlin during the months before the biketour. They don't take major decisions, but bear responsibility to keep the information together and its flows alive! - you can contact them and find out how you can help at info@ecotopiabiketour.net

==Some ideas of how you can help==
There is lots to be done :) Here are smaller areas of the project, where u could be the right person to take responsibility:

* coordinating a bit of the route (regional co-ordinators are wanted who speak the local language, can help find sleeping/cooking places, plan the route & find suitable maps for that region, have the overview of actions along the route. See more here: [[Checklist for national/local organisers]])
* take care of our outreach during the tour: flyer, poster, website content, prepare an action, prepare a theatre piece, prepare workshop to be given to the tour members or to the public
* coordinate the outreach for participants and organizers
* maintain the [[website]]
* style/design leaflets, posters...
* [[International Coordinator#fundraising|raise funds]]
* take care about visas issues
* help overall coordination
* be the backup office when we are on tour
* presswork - in your own country and international contacts
* spread the word on the internet through using free software and uncommercial services as much as possible
* Translate documents
* Translate key texts to key-languages (e.g. German, and Eastern Europe in 2013) and other languages
* The wiki pages need to be updated, cleaned out and ordered continuously!!!!!

Biketour 2013

2013-06-10T19:48:41Z

Taborda: /* Print Material On the Road */

==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.

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

* 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?
* 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?
* ...
* ...

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

We are looking for a slogan, preferably something positive and imperative eg "cycling towards degrowth!"

Check out some ideas on the [[2013 Slogan]] page

==Route Ideas==

This year the tour is likely to
* start in ((north)/northeastern Germany (most likely Berlin, but could also be somewhere at the coast)
* end somewhere in the wide region between the adriatic and the carpathian mountains, between the tatra and northern dinaric alps
This rough decision was taken during the [[Winter Meeting 2013]]. During the following month, the route will be concretised in order to have "skeleton".

See the [[2013 route page]] for
* ideas for places to visit, routes, contacts (add yours, too!)
* maps with route ideas and existing 'borders'

== 2013 Aims ==

There have been many discussions about [[Aims & Sub Campaigns]] that the BT wish to support ...some of thoses can be added here.

==Kick-off days==

This is likely to be a weekend in the first weeks of july. (to be confirmed)

What can we do during the kick-off days?

*A Radical History Bike tour of the Berlin Wall
*Link up with Bike Surf Berlin [http://bikesurfberlin.blogspot.de/]
* Bike repair workshop
** Regenbogenwerkstatt?
* Rocket stove workshop
* Organising Ourselves: BT 2013 structure
* First aid workshop / course? (Red Cross, THW, etc.?)
* Workshop planning
* Action planning
* City Critical Mass
* Coincide with exisiting bike or border event
* Organise a Bike or Border event ...

Keep your proposals coming ......!

==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==

* BT booklet 2013: including schedule, description of places
* small language book
* maps?
* stickers?

check and keep [[BT_2013_advertising_material]] updated :D
