GERMANY:

THE STRIKE-BIKE WILL BE PRODUCED:

SENSATIONAL SUCCESS FOR WORKERS OF OCCUPIED BICYCLE FACTORY:

After only two weeks of effort most of the needed orders for bicycles from the occupied factory in Nordhausen Germany have been received. The target is 1,800 by the end of October, and so far over 1,300 orders have been received from all over the world. The workers at the factory have decided to start production of the "strike-bike" which will, appropriately be coloured red. With help from the anarcho-syndicalist FAU (Freie Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter Union) of Germany people all across Europe made presentations, visited bicycle dealers and spread the word in numerous other ways. Hundreds of websites reported on the events. It was picked up by the mass media in Germany. The home page of the strike-bike http://www.strike-bike.de was visited 64,000 times. The workers at the factory plan to start up production at the end of October, but orders are still needed. To see more go to the website above or...
