Leave your car at home and 'Bike it'!

As everyone knows, taking the car involves pollution. Moreover, it causes traffic congestions and parking problems. That’s why cyclists often arrive even sooner at their destination than their fellows coming by car. So why wouldn’t we take the bike instead and enjoy riding in the fresh air at the same time? And when you are afraid of arriving all sweaty at your working place, don’t worry: a  solar bike is the solution to this problem!





Although many people claim to love being outside, a lot of people spend the majority of their time indoors. Nevertheless, it has been proved that fresh air is beneficial for one’s mental health and creates a feeling of calm and overall well-being. As a result, we need to find a way to get people out of their chair. If a normal bike doesn’t appeal to you, maybe a solar bike can! A solar bike is a regular bicycle that is able to use the energy from the sun to provide motor-assisted pedalling. You will be amazed at what it can do! 

Gregory Lewyllie is a West-Flemish man who is convinced of the advantages of a solar bike. He has been selected to participate at the SUN TRIP, a solar challenge adventure tour. During this trip, every participant has to cycle from point A to point B (7500 km) with a solar bike, but each competitor can choose his own itinerary according to his own desires, goals and physical and linguistic abilities. To put it shortly, the SUN TRIP is a 100% ecological competition! The video below gives you some more information about the SUN TRIP



All the advantages taken into account, why wouldn’t you give the solar bike a try yourself? Follow the example of Lewyllie and let’s bike it!
