A dream comes true! With the Velo-Solex from Münsingen near Bern to the Eiffel Tower in Paris
Autor: Katrin Lienhart

It all started with a somewhat crazy idea: Thomas from Münsingen dreamed of traveling to Paris to the Eiffel Tower in a small group on his old Velosolex! He even found like-minded people: Ernst “Aschi” from Hettiswil and Monika and Hansueli from Bolligen. In a roundabout way, Katrin and Noldi from Rekingen in Aargau joined us, who had never sat on a Solex before!

My name is Rolf. At the “old” age of 72, I bought this old Solex. I drove something like this around 55 years ago, at the age of 14, without having to wear a helmet and without a test. So – there are a lot of old memories attached to it too.

Now I use the “Göppel” (coll. for an old and rattly bike or bicycle) for short distances. Not to forget, just for fun.
