Summary
PRNewswire/ - The Solar Cyclist App offers cyclists the opportunity to help those in need by simply doing what they love.
Solar Cyclist is a freemium app that converts kilometres ridden into solar power for people in need.
As cyclists ride, their distance covered is converted into watts of solar power.
Solar Cyclist is aiming to provide life-changing solar power to 1,000,000 people in need.
Cyclists are able to track their performance and monitor the output of their 'solar system' through the app.
Even if cyclists stop riding, their solar systems will continue to generate power for the life of the panels.
O'Grady said, "My cycling career has been beset with challenges and I've struggled through adversity and overcome serious injury on more than one occasion to compete at the highest level. However, very little compares to the challenges that many people face on a daily basis just to survive, to put food on the table. When I learned about the Solar Cyclist app I recognised an innovative opportunity to engage the cycling community and help those in need without changing their daily routine."
The Solar Cyclist free plan requires 600km to be ridden to generate one watt of solar power.
Cyclists can further reduce the number of kilometres required to ride to generate a watt.
Cyclists can compete to climb the leaderboard and regular challenges and competitions help to create a dynamic and engaged community that is able to do good for the planet, while doing good for themselves.
