The Unconventional Cellist is Kristin Rule, a musician who is touring by bicycle. Accompanying her is a solar-powered, electric-assist trailer. The 30-watt solar photovoltaic panel on the 'Mechanarchy 'Watt-Bot' trailer stores electrical energy in a pair of 12-volt batteries. These batteries provide up to three hours of electrically assisted riding.
The Unconventional Cellist is an unconventional eco-activist also. Her choice to tour very green is inspiring!
