It would certainly be easy but extremely boring outside of Paris, Amsterdam, and Copenhagen...which is all the same vibe anyway. It's going to be pretty flat and no scenery.
im sure you can find great stuff
if i was cross country on the road i would see if i could pass through places like these too
dordogne valley france
lot valley france
alcase france
beaujolais france
hautes pyrenees france
rhine valley germany
seems excessive
thought it was pretty cool
gypsies offering fake drugs near the main centre are annoying
other than that i can't think what would cause someone to describe it as absolute dogshit

That being said yes it's an easy route but who gives a fuck? France is beautiful no matter where you go. I'd probably include the Netherlands because cycling there is just a completely different and very fun experience.

Couldn't disagree more. As I said, it's an agriculture wasteland. Smells like Gülle, people drink too much alcohol and fulfill the stupid farmer stereotype.
How can you really go about biking long distances like this? I hate having all sorts of frame bags, and wearing a pack while riding. How doable would it be with just a pannier and two saddle bags. I figure one saddle bag dedicated to bike supps like tubes, pump, patch kit etc. Maybe cram some food/water in there. Another for clothes and personal items. Maybe the top of the rack is camping stuff, and throw a spare tire. I've done all the booning, car living, trekking, train hopping, hitch hiking, but bicycling longer than three days, I've never gotten around to. I really hate a lot of the methodology I've seen on the internet thus far.
Basically this, if you want to get from A to B google maps is fine but for a more enjoyable route find something else. For Belgium and the Netherlands you have "fietsknooppunten" which can help you find a more scenic / bike friendly route. Rest of europe no clue how that would work
It would be profoundly based if you did it. How much time do you have?

You are going through the worst part of Germany. All flat and nothing but agriculture wasteland.
Isn't it being flat a good thing for biking?
If all you care about is going from A to B what is the point of going on a bike then? Drive a car.
Emsland and Frisia are actually super comfy.

The only Gülle here is your opinions.

Just don't be a moron.
I'd be more concerned with getting hit by random fucks speeding in cars
Europe is pretty biker friendly as much as I know
yes

I did a 3 day tour round Belgium and the Google maps route was fucking gay and boring. Try to find some cycling maps for your route if you can.

If you actually did it, it would take you almost a month to reach your destination, 2 weeks if you were a machine.
