'''Hitchhikers Guide to Hitchhiking ''' is a collaborate web-based project to gather a good set of knowledge about hitchhiking for the benefit of hitchhiking. The project started 14th of April 2005. However, the person who started didn't respond when the wiki was constantly being spammed. Consequently [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] moved the wiki to [http://wikicities.com Wikicities], a migration that was completed on the 19th of December 2005.
The idea in the Guide is not to compete with other marvellous [[Hitchhiking websites|marvellous hitchhiking websitessites]] already existing, such as the [http://digihitch.com digihitch.com], Suite101, Vilnius Hitchhiking Club, Worldwide Database of places for Hitchhikers or [http://hike.ru Hike.ru], but to provide a way to reorganize a lot of the existing knowhow into one, easily searchable encyclopedia. Hopefully the Guide can help all the other sites to fourish.
