About this project
Anik Pelchat (Québec (Canada)) took part in The Sun Trip 2015, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar trike.
For Anik Pelchat from Québec, The Sun Trip was a rite of passage after a year of fighting cancer and five operations – the start of a new life built on boldness. Technical failures kept her out of the ranking, but not her determination: she went on to live as a traveller and expatriate in Asia. By training she is an ethnographer who worked on rural development in Québec.
