These bikes are strong and, with some small adaptations, I will be self-sufficient in electricity for my electronic devices (<a href="http://www.next-way.fr/2015/03/test-e-werk.html">info</a>). I will have almost everything necessary for complete autonomy: tent, sleeping bag, water filter, tools, spare parts, …; only food, and parts in case of problems, will be purchased (<a href="http://www.lebraquetdelaliberte.com/guide-voyage-velo">info</a>). But in order to share more with local people, I will use networks such as <a href="http://campinmygarden.com/">campinmygarden</a>, <a href="https://www.couchsurfing.com/">couchsurfing</a>, <a href="https://www.housecarers.com/">housecarers</a>, <a href="https://www.warmshowers.org/">warmshowers</a>, etc.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The route will be chosen according to <a href="https://www.transitionnetwork.org/" target="_blank">the transition network</a> and community work networks such as <a href="http://www.helpx.net/" target="_blank">Xhelp</a>,<a href="http://www.workaway.info/" target="_blank">Workaway</a>, <a href="http://www.wwoof.net/" target="_blank">Woofing</a>, etc. The organizations can be contacted directly.

Working on society changes while discovering the beauty of the world in all its natural and human richness. Having the desire to share this adventure and the indisputable fact that we all have a responsibility to take action at our own level. Finally, working against the dogma of infinite growth, misconceptions, misinformation, looking for comfort and consumption without considering everything we are a part of, nature and humankind.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Travelling by bike because, in my opinion, it is the best compromise among all means of transport possible. Faster than walking and, unlike motorized transport, it allows you to live your journey, use your senses and perceive your environment. For more information on this topic, I urge you to discover the principles of <a href="http://www.consoglobe.com/le-slow-travel-pour-voyager-autrement-cg">Slow travel</a>.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><em>« Too fast means of transport are alienating and illusory » [Ivan Illich]</em></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> This project originates from the fact that we are in an unstable society, completely dependent on fossil fuels. Many of us feel helpless in this fragile model responsible for so much injustice and social and environmental disasters. Still, many alternatives exist and thousands of people working on this.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Particularly through the development of the Internet, a new society of knowledge and sharing has been born!</p> <p>  </p> <p> As said by Pablo Servigne in his <a href="http://nourrirleurope.eklablog.com/">book</a> and <a href="https://vimeo.com/98943164">conference</a> : Either we anticipate and act now or we wait to be facing bigger problems. The first step to take, the most important one, is to change ourselves…</p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>« <strong>Be the change you wish to see in the world</strong> » <strong>[Gandhi]</strong></em></p>
