==Collective Group Equipment as of 2014==
Things often get left behind and often get mixed up with (particularly kitchen) equipment of the projects. One important tip when acquiring communal equipment is to '''choose items that have an exceptional design'''. Experience shows that even the most useless things don't get lost for months if their look is easy to recognise, but even the most essential things get left behind when no one is sure if they are ours or belong to the project.
* [[Trailers]]
** We have two Bob trailers - one is with the coordinators in Thessaloniki, another travelling with a 2013 participant hopefully arriving in time. If not, we will have to purchase a two wheel y-frame from a bicycle shop in Thessaloniki (at an agreed reduced price.)
** We will borrow a third one from Lastenradkollektiv in Vienna - Carry Freedom Y-Frame: http://www.lastenradkollektiv.at/fuhrpark-anhaenger/ (Lollipop)


*[[BT_2014_advertising_material]] - Booklets, leaflets, stickers, posters, screen printing stuff etc. - make your own!
==Permanent equipment==


* It would be good if you sort out your '''bike''' yourself. However, if you don't have a bike/cannot bring one, write to us and to the list, maybe we can point you to somewhere and/or people on the route can help you out (probably someone who is leaving can lend you their bike etc.
Equipment that does not get used up and that we keep over the years.


* If you need somewhere to sleep or have a space in your tent, then make this know on the 'tent forum': https://wiki.ecotopiabiketour.net/Needed_or_extra_camping_equipment

Latest revision as of 13:01, 30 March 2023

Here we keep a record of the collective equipment needed/thought/available for each Biketour.

If you want to know what you should bring generally see here -> participant equipment recomendation or in the FAQs on www.ecotopiabiketour.net

Things often get left behind and often get mixed up with (particularly kitchen) equipment of the projects. One important tip when acquiring communal equipment is to choose items that have an exceptional design. Experience shows that even the most useless things don't get lost for months if their look is easy to recognise, but even the most essential things get left behind when no one is sure if they are ours or belong to the project.

Permanent equipment
