======

Ecotopia Biketour is a self-organised, international community that has 
been organising a yearly bicycle tour in different regions of Europe 
since 1990. During the tour we visit environmental and social projects 
and practice forms of activism and sustainable living. We cook communal 
vegan food, practice consensus decision making, and share skills by 
doing workshops. Ecotopia Biketour is for anyone interested in 
travelling by bike, community life, DIY, an ecological lifestyle, and/or 
learning by experience. If this sounds good to you, feel welcome to join 
us!

We are usually a group of 20–40 cyclists. Most people join for between 2 
weeks and 2 months and are participating for the first time. We rarely 
cycle all together, some people go ahead in the morning and mark the 
route with arrows on the road. People then follow in small groups at 
their own speed and rhythm. We support each other and keep distances at 
a level that everybody and everybike can manage. Don't worry if you have 
never travelled by bike before.

We try to create a non-hierarchical environment by rotating 
responsibilities, sharing skills and respecting personal needs. People 
can sign up for daily tasks (cooking, pulling a trailer, marking the 
route, etc.), but everyone can decide individually how much they want to 
do. We gather as a group in a circle every few days to talk about how 
everything is going and to collectively make decisions. One of our core 
values is to create a non-discriminatory environment.

We cook communally with portable stoves, carry all our equipment 
ourselves, try to buy local and organic food; and we dumpster-dive where 
possible. We suggest a donation of 3–5 € per day to cover food costs, 
but people who cannot give this donation are also welcome to join.

We will be cycling in Scotland, Ireland and Wales from the end of June 
until the end of September. We will start on the 26th of June in 
Edinburgh and then cycle north in the Highlands coming back south 
through Glasgow (end of July) and then towards a ferry to Ireland. There 
we will continue from Belfast following the Wild Atlantic Way and then 
turn inland to Dublin (beginning of September). We will cross the sea 
again to Wales and cycle there finally reaching Cardiff/Bristol.

If you have some questions or have recommendations for projects, groups 
and events for us to visit on the way or would like to help preparing 
the tour, please write to [email protected] or join our mailing 
list in our website: https://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/
