It has been designed to travel between community gardens / allotments, town fairs, protest camps, and schools, where it is opened up and made ready for action. When stationary the bike trailer opened up reveals a small xerox machine, a library of books available for xeroxing, a weather station and a small working desk. Ontop is a solar panel which collects solar energy whenever the sun is out. The library consists of a unique collection of books, some quite rare, on experimental urban gardening / farming, horticulture, weather, D. I. Y. (do it yourself) culture, alternative city design and city gentrification. The bike is named after Gerrard Winstanley, the leader and Spokeperson for “the Diggers”, a group of 17th century indigent peasants who tried to defy the enclosure of common land by private interests; occupying it in en masse, digging it up, cultivating it for food and squatting.
