About this project
Pierre Michon took part in Sun Trip Alpes 2022, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar bike.
Pierre Michon, 59, from Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure in the Rhône, has worked at EDF Hydro for more than 30 years and rides mountain bikes regularly – so joining The Sun Trip came naturally.
