After the Brexit decision it has become even more necessary to bike completely through Europe at once. One last time to enjoy the benefits of Schengen and visa-free cycling, one last time a peaceful Europe before finally everything collapses and before you just have to emigrate to Canada.
Except we start a great left-liberal, pro-European, satirical, digital movement, which especially dissolves the social divide between city and periphery, between those who have bucks and the left-behind. A movement that transcends the circle between nostalgia (right-wing populists) and technocracy (grand coalition) and reveals us the real split in society. Thus this split is an economic-social, which can be seen also on urban development in Europe. DIEM could be such a movement, but let’s see. I remain somehow pessimistic.
Tomorrow, however, I will start with my bike tour. 5000 km through Europe.
Schengen – for the last time?
