Video: Solar Bike Tour
Last May I took part in the in the SLOWest solar power bike tour - both as a presenter and as participant visiting the homes on the tour. I had a blog post on the event last summer. If you couldn't make the bike tour, SLOWest has just posted a series of videos from the stops along the tour. My presentation is posted here. Given the chilly weather outside, it's warming to see the large group of enthusiastic cyclists interested in learning more about solar power in Ottawa!
