A dream day for the Sun Trip, between the Grand Place, the European Commission and Ixelles, all under a blazing sun!
The participants were welcomed by the Mayor of Brussels, Philippe Close, the Mayor of Ixelles, Christos Doulkeridis, the Secretary of State Barbara Trachte and the Vice-President of the European Commission, Frans Timmermans. We were lucky enough to be accompanied by the elected representatives of the city and the Metropolis of Lyon, Hélène Dromain, Fabien Bagnon and Valentin Lungenstrass The adventure can now begin!
Thank you Belgium for this memorable welcome. We will be back.

The Sun Trip démarrait de Bruxelles ce début d'après-midi. Une voyage à vélo entièrement propulsé par le soleil et les guiboles ! Un itinéraire de 10.000 km passant par pas moins de 28 pays … Notre retour en vidéo ! #TheSunTrip #suntrip #Voyageàvélo 🌞 pic.twitter.com/MqXiWtlMl1

Great to welcome #SunTripEurope to the @EU_Commission today. It’s a truly inspiring adventure that shows us the way to more sustainable, healthier mobility. Cycling is already booming in the EU and the Sun Trip Europe will show even more people that cycling is the future! https://t.co/FLWSuBHYJs pic.twitter.com/JcQSt4ib8A
