THE GREAT ESCAPE - ERIK NOHLIN AND SILVA’S CYCLE LAMPS ON A NORTH AMERICAN ADVENTURE

The Great Escape is the name of Erik Nohlin’s new project and the actualisation of an idea for a big adventure. After dreams and setbacks he is now setting off to head across North America on a bicycle, the only plan being that there is no plan. With him on this journey are his wife, Sofia Nohlin, and Silva’s new cycle lamps.
