About this project
Peter Helsen (Belgium) took part in The Sun Trip 2018, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar bike.
Peter Helsen rode the 2017 and 2019 Sun Trip Tours with his wife An and the 2018 Lyon–Canton, which he finished 11th in 82 days – staying on 100 % solar charging. After riding from France to China with his friend Dirk, he finished alone at his own pace. In 2021 he took on his fourth Sun Trip; his good humour and kindness are known to all.
