About this project
Michel Olchewsky took part in Sun Trip Tour 2019 and The Sun Trip 2018, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar bike.
Michel Olchewsky, a former marathon and long-distance champion, should have ridden the 2018 Lyon–Canton but a knee problem kept him from the start. A year later he was among the strongest riders of the 2019 Sun Trip Tour, finishing second in the “super-combative” challenge.
