Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

How about a couple of lines to explain what exactly this is? Even the site launches straight into albums without so much as an intro. Photos look great, anyway.
It is a series of mult day races using diy solar bicycles. No follow car, so if something breaks it has to be fixed using local resources.
That's sounding more fun already.
I found it near the bottom of the page, "### The Solar Bike Adventure
Since 2013, The Sun Trip is a rendezvous for solar bike adventurers. First towards Kazakhstan, then to China, the Sun Trip allows us to wonder and ponder while putting human relationships on the spotlight."
OK that helps, even if it's still a bit cryptic. It's a group cycling holiday, basically.
