Adventurers on solar bikes choosing their course through Eurasia. Inspired by unassisted yacht races around the world, the Sun Trip is writing a new page in the world of overland adventures.

How does that work? Solar sombreros?

The website is literally fully of photos of all the various solar bikes 🙄

Oh and if you would have ever tried to ride a bike with a sombrero you would know that this doesn't work 😜

I'm not sure if large panels on the bike are any better if there's any kind of wind.

The only practical way I see is a shell around the bike.
