He can't stop – he wants to do it again! The fascination for freedom on two wheels just won't let go of him: Peter Smolka, the bike adventure seeker from Erlangen, will once again swing into the bicycle saddle for several years to explore new areas of the globe. Motivated by two successful world tours, during which he covered 160,000 kilometers under his own power, the extreme cyclist continues his pedal-powered odyssey.

The start date is set, and the rough route is outlined. And Peter doesn’t want to leave us in the dark but – in good tradition – will give a farewell lecture designed exclusively for the audience of the Fernwehfestival. With many images that have never shone on the screen before.

Peter's cycling journeys have never been ego trips aimed at covering as many kilometers in as little time as possible. It has always been about engaging with people, countries, and cultures, respecting local customs. Following the motto "If in Rome, do as the Romans do," he enjoys the diversity and uniqueness of the places he visits. And if he has to share a simple accommodation in India with bugs, then that's just part of the experience.

The Erlangen world traveler will report in a shortened version of his second round-the-world trip, the journey during which he visited all partner cities of Erlangen and managed to avoid flights between continents. He will repeatedly sprinkle in flashbacks to his earlier cycling adventures that date back to 1978. Flashbacks to times when there was no internet, when one traveled without GPS and phone, but with dozens of slide films in tow.

At the end, Peter will share what happened professionally after his last world tour, what tours he has undertaken in the meantime, and – most importantly – where the next big journey is supposed to lead.

We are looking forward to lots of fun, excitement, and adventure on two wheels!
