Solar Bike Rayce was an off-shoot of Sunrayce, the solar car competition for college students. In Solar Bike Rayce, high school students competed on a closed track with a modified bicycle, making it both safer and cheaper to compete. The competitors would be good cyclists, but could tap into the solar panel and battery pack for bursts of speed or at least maintenance of speed while they rested their legs.
Some of the sample people that organized Sunrayce would help put on Solar Bike Rayce events on the off years, or whenever. I got to see it just once, but was impressed with the teams. It looked like a lot of fun.
