Join a cycling caravan, going from Geneva to Leipzig!

Location: Leipzig, Germany

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Hey there! Join a cycling caravan, going from Geneva to Leipzig!

We are starting a "Velokarawane" (Caravane à Vélo), a bicycle caravan that will travel from Geneva all the way to Leipzig. The purpose of this trip is to connect with alternative projects and communities along the way, exchange knowledge and skills, organise resistance actions like critical masses, and most importantly, share loads of fun and good energy.

The route will take us through different landscapes, across borders, and into the heart of various social and ecological initiatives. We will be hosted by house projects, squats, and farms along the way, but we will also camp, organise concerts, and participate in local festivals and events. Every day will be different, and the journey itself is as much the destination as Leipzig.

The entire trip is organised on a non-hierarchical, self-managed basis. There is no leader, no fixed hierarchy. Decisions are made collectively, and everyone contributes according to their skills, energy, and desires. We are looking for people who are open-minded, flexible, and ready to embrace the unpredictable nature of a long-distance cycling adventure.

All you need to participate is a tent and a bike that can handle the distance. Everything else can be figured out along the way. The exact route and further details can be found on the official project website, where you can also see the planned stops, estimated daily distances, and practical tips for joining.

This is a journey about connection, resistance, and joy. It is about meeting people who are building different ways of living, learning from them, and sharing our own experiences. It is about moving through the world slowly, by pedal power, and seeing what happens when you open yourself to the unexpected.

Whether you join for a few days or the whole route, you are welcome. Bring your bike, your tent, your curiosity, and your willingness to be part of something collective and beautiful.
