Tri Cycling Africa trailer

Australian Project Manager Jeff McLean was so annoyed with the current western perception of muslims that he and his one cameraman rode a tandem recumbent tricycle through five countries in West Africa. For two months and 1000 kms they pedalled hot dusty roads and often found warm welcomes, great character and selfless generosity.

With no real plan, tents or sleeping bags, Jeff finds an honest side of Africa that is rarely seen. But there are frustrations; breakdowns, language barriers, exhaustion, and theft leaving them stranded and desperate.

Africa is often seen as either a place of poverty and corruption or of exotic wildlife - Tri Cycling Africa reveal the opposite in both cases. While touching on the poverty and desperation of the locals, it also shows a hardy, happy, diverse population in a hard but spectacular land and a noble and generous race of people.

Thanks for your comment. The series is not available on DVD yet but we're currently in negotiations with a distributor. If there's any news I'll post it here!
