     • (write here ideas)
2. Saturday
   • Bike reparing workshop at Biciosxs (photos)
     • The idea is to have some bikes "built" from several parts, and then rest tuned for the tour
       • "yo creo que para construir un par de bicis en biciosos, no problem. tambien la gente puede venir a hacer el arreglo de su bicicleta antes de marcharse. si faltan piezas o herramientas se puede utlilizar tambien el taller de can masdeu. he hablado con la gente del taller que si hay alguna idea mas, muy bien. quizas se puede participar en la masa critica, pero la verdad es que en barcelona las ultimas veces hemos tenido problema con la policia y se ha cortado un poco el rollo." - Claudio

Translation: "I believe that in order to construct a pair of bikes [help with slang, please: biciosos?] it's no problem. Also, people can come to make the arrangements for their bike before leaving. If you don't have pieces or tools you can also use Can Masdue's workshop. I have spoken with the people at the workshop that if there's another idea, all good and well. Perhaps it's possible to participate in the Critical Mass, but in all honesty in Barcelona, the last couple of times we've have problems with the police and it's cut down on the participation a little bit."

2. Sunday
   • Intro and Workshops at CanMasdeu [1]
   • There's a workshop about "STRAW BALE BUILDING" - Check their programme online

• SLEEP: The 3 nights, camping at CanMasdeu. Nevertheless, people are worried with the shortage of water. We should be aware from the very start of biketour that it's crucial to use the least as possible.

They won't charge for the space, but would appreciate that we would but their meals

• FOOD: Usually they DON'T sell their vegetables, but they are quite used to cook for big groups. Our group could support them by collaborating in cooking and paying 3€ per person. This is the normal every sunday, when they open for public.

• Ideas:
