“Ein Belg’s” Epic 80-Day Bicycle Trip Through Germany

Is there a better way to see a country than by bicycle? A Belgian expat and cycling enthusiast named Carl, now relocated to Germany, just wrapped up an 80-day trip through all 16 of Germany’s states. He filmed his journey and compressed those 80 days down into 80 seconds:

I have to believe that not all of us are happy with just the 80 seconds of eye candy. I can’t be the only one who is envious of Carl’s journey and would like to see more.

The good news is, Carl–who is fluent in German and goes by the handle “Ein Belg,” slang for “a Belgian”–is in fact turning his journey into a documentary. In the trailer below we get to see what we don’t in the teaser above, which is the actual interactions Carl got to have while traveling:

Carl has released the two videos above in hopes of gaining the attention of a German production company. If any of you have a hookup, please forward this along!
