The Gerrard Winstanley Radical Gardening Space Reclamation Mobile Field Center and Weather Station (European Chapter) is a specially designed bicycle trailer that when in transit is a compact, weatherproof, lockable unit, roadworthy and user-friendly.

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.
