Swiss- born David Brandenberger doesn't have a clue about electrical engineering, solar systems and long-distance cycling, but he does have an idea. A project emerges from this and becomes, unplanned, one of the longest expeditions ever undertaken on a solar-powered pedelec recumbent trike, solo and out of a race. He cycles his "Solatrike" across the Silk Road from Europe through Asia and on and on despite all odds. An inspiring story that encourages you to put your idea into action and go your own way. Exactly what David wants to convey.Very big on this trip are the encounters with the locals and the breathtaking nature, which at times makes him sweat quite a bit.

True to his motto, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans."
