Last weekend saw ADIMOV Dreaming, the solar assisted recumbent bicycle, designed and built by the Damascus College Energy Breakthrough Team for their Outback Rode RAGE hit the road for its first trials.

The team was very pleased with the vehicle cruising comfortably at 60-70 kph on the flat and reaching 90kph (the team’s self imposed speed limit) on a gentle downhill stretch. Well done to all the students, staff and volunteers who have created this “Green Machine”. A few more adjustments this week and then we will be up and down the Western Freeway over the next few weekends, putting the final touches on the long and arduous training regimen the riders have been undergoing.
