Revision as of 09:01, 20 April 2018
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.

Equipment that gets used up
Equipment that gets used up, so it needs to be acquired before and during the tour.

| Markers | ||
| Pens (rate of loss about 1 per day…) | ||
| Puncture repair kit (with a looot of patches, maybe 10–20 per month?) | Candid, Michal | The cheapest is to get a big tube of vulcanizer and to get several big packs of patches (that don't contain anything else). Those are difficult to find though. In some countries they have them in the home-improvement stores. |

| Gaffer tape | Candid | |
| Transparent tape (Tesa/Sellotape) | ||
