Ecotopia Biketour [Spain & Portugal]

Starting in Barcelona (1st June)... cycling to Aljezur, Portugal..

Ecotopia biketour is a do-it-yourself "DIY" playground for environmentalism, culture, nature, community life,... topics. You are invited to Can Masdeu, Escanda and other communities. And you'll be able to participate in actions for defending the last wild river on Iberian Peninsula, the north coastline, regional train lines and you can experience the world naked bike ride at Zaragoza and many other events. During the tour, you can attend to workshops or prepare and offer your own.

Each year Ecotopia Biketour aims to create an "ecomobile" community connecting different people from all over the world into a diverse, clumsy, joyful, slow, funny, unpredictable, sunny, caring group of people.

The Ecotopia Biketour is an eco-mobile action community on its way to or from the Ecotopia gathering. Some 10 to 50 cyclists from different backgrounds - nationality, age, language, experience - cycle together towards Ecotopia, doing actions on their way and meet up with environmentally minded people and groups. They carry all equipment for camping on their bikes and trailers. It is a dynamic tour, with constantly changing sleeping places, group composition (you don't have to join the whole route) and food quality, but with some common things like: consensus based decision making, all tasks divided between the participants, a sleeping place every night and breakfast, lunch and dinner for a participation fee calculated in "ecos" and collected by Sigmund, our magic hat.

Being a horizontal community, everyone is responsible for making the tour a success. Decisions are made and problems are discussed in the morning/evening circle by practicing consensus.
Biketour is a project which promotes a sustainable way of life by cycling, doing press work, participating in/organizing actions. We participate in the actions organized by local groups and also our own actions.
All food in biketour is vegetarian, but we will provide vegan, raw food and other diet options. Meat eaters are welcome, but there will be no meat option during any common biketour meal.
