About this project
Camille & Auguste Colle (Belgium) took part in The Sun Trip 2018, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar tandem.
Camille and Auguste Colle are brothers – one a physicist, the other an industrial engineer – who share a passion for cycling. Camille had just finished a PhD in nuclear physics and ridden 12,000 km across the United States; Auguste fitted their recumbent tandem with a solar roof and a motor.
