Carbon footprint of a 10,000 km trip
Today, everyone agrees that it is urgent to reduce our CO² emissions. I was just wondering what the differences were in terms of CO² emissions between the different modes of transport. The answer to this simple question is ultimately quite complex: many factors go into the calculations, starting with the average number of passengers in

The operation of a solar panel, by Christophe Dugué
It was during the course of preparation for Sun trip 2019 and 2020, in Lans-en-Vercors, that Christophe Dugué gave us important information about solar panels. In a very clear presentation, he explained to us the design and operation of a solar panel, the definition of its technical characteristics (maximum power) etc… Christophe also informed us

Comparative energy efficiency test of 3 flexible solar panels
After several days of rain, the Sun came back! It is slightly veed but no matter: I was too eager to test the solar panels received three days earlier! I compared them to the panels bought in 2017 and 2018. Although this test has no scientific value, the observations have seemed interesting enough to be

How to choose your solar panels?
Photovoltaic panels are the key element of the solar bike: they convert the energy of the sun into electric energy that can be used directly by the engine and/or for charging the battery. When we start the adventure of building his solar bike, we are a little lost in front of the diversity of offers.

An original event that I would gladly participate in
As a road user on a daily basis, as a cyclist, I am particularly sensitive to this event that I would have been happy to participate in. What if we were to organize a similar event locally? Hundreds of cyclists have landed on the Bastille Square to ask for a safer road. Twitter Photo/Yash Obeng.
