In 2010 amidst the invariable nationalistic fervour that follows the prominence of any country’s sports team in an international sporting event, 80 Germans with bicycles rode from Dresden to Leipzig, sustained by fine food, dust and enough water to fill the Swim Center Pinwheel Inflatable Wading Pool by Intex™ (second in Ebays list of top ten inflatable swimming pools).

Germany would eventually lose to Spain in the quarter-finals of aforementioned international sporting event and the cyclists would reach Leipzig, exhausted and with a seemingly universal need for cigarettes and lager.
