About this project
Richard Lebrun took part in Sun Trip Alpes 2022, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar bike.
For Richard Lebrun, arriving is the goal but the journey is what matters: the encounters, the landscapes, the shared moments. His crossing of the Alps was also a test of technical choices for the trip of a lifetime he has in mind – a Lyon–Canton Sun Trip.
