Ultracycling-Videos
If you would like to find out more about ultracycling or Fritz Geers, then this page is worth seeing. While most people prefer to spend time at parties in their youth, Fritz is producing a feature-length film about his love for mountain biking. He uploads the motivational videos at the bottom of this page on the topic of ultracycling to YouTube about his first ultra cycling races. With the increasingly longer races that Fritz drives, many challenges arise. Due to time constraints, Fritz has to decide not to produce any more videos for the time being. However, he continues to use moving images in his lectures. You can watch the videos below to better understand ultracycling. However, personal exchanges, books, lectures or feature films about ultracycling provide an even better understanding.
In winter 2023, filmmaker Julian Schmidt will begin making a cinematic film about Fritz. The film is intended to document Fritz's everyday life in preparation for the Race Across America and talk about the why behind ultracycling. In the picture, Fritz can be seen with his training colleague Steffen in the attic during a shoot. The two of them often spend time here in winter on the roller, an indoor bike trainer, when there is too much snow outside in the Harz to ride a bike and Fritz is not at the training camp.
The photographer Julian Barth from Dortmund has also been accompanying Fritz since 2023 and will publish a book about participation in the Race Across America at the beginning of 2024. The book not only documents enormous landscapes across America, but also a journey that friends, family and partners can experience as if they had been there themselves. You will find a link below where you can find out more about the book.
