Ecotopia Biketour is a self-organized environmental and social activist bicycle tour that has been cycling through different parts of Europe each summer since 1990. On our way we visit social and environmental projects and groups, to learn about their struggles and visions, to exchange knowledge, to create connections and to support them by participating in actions or doing some physical work. Read more about what the Ecotopia Biketour is.
Ecotopia Biketour 2017 will go through Germany, France and may be to Switzerland and eastern Spain. A more specific route will be announced on the website as soon as it is decided. If you have some recommendations for projects, groups and events for us to visit on the way or would like to help preparing the tour, write to 2017@ecotopiabiketour.net.

The Biketour started on the 18th of June in Makvärket, a cultural and environmental collective in Knabstrup, about 75 km west of Copenhagen.

Μπορείς να καταφέρεις ό,τι βάλεις στο μυαλό σου.
Είχα να κάνω ποδήλατο 10 χρόνια και αν μου έλεγες πριν 6 μήνες ό,τι θα έπαιρνα μέρος στο Ecotopia Biketour αυτό το καλοκαίρι, θα γελούσα.

Ήρθαν στη συνέλευση του Σχολείου, του ελεύθερου κοινωνικού χώρου, και ζήτησαν να χρησιμοποιήσουν το χώρο για την ανοιξιάτικη συνάντηση του Biketour. Ήταν η πρώτη φορά που άκουσα για ένα ποδηλατικό ταξίδι και παρότι μου φάνηκε υπέροχη ιδέα, αμέσως σκέφτηκα ότι δεν είναι για εμένα.…
Obituary: Strudel Apollo Sanchez Buchanan
Strudel Apollo joined the Ecotopia Bike Tour on August 18th. This 2 week old orphan kitten stole our hearts immediately. We decided to help this cat-like fellow, descendent of Alexander the Great, and find for him a new family. With a surprisingly uncanny resemblance to his adoptive mother: big, beautiful, eyeliner eyes and bowed back legs that made him waddle in a cute way, it was hard not to like him. Since the beginning he proved to be a very curious and courageous cat. He got along with everybody very easily and he even won the cat-haters around. This 2.5…
