About this project
Laurence & Christian (France) took part in Sun Trip France 2020 and The Sun Trip 2021, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar trike.
Christian first rode The Sun Trip alone on the France edition in summer 2020. That autumn he convinced his wife Laurence to try the tough roads of the Corsica Sun Trip as a test. It worked: the couple from Valmeinier in Savoie went on to ride the great Sun Trip Europe as a duo.
