  • Neighbour’s frog

    My neighbour worked with his professional phototools on my photo. I must say that it has increased a lot in  quality ! Neighbour’s frog, originally uploaded by kosbie.

  • fishing humor

    The best humor is not shown by comedians or clowns. No, the best humor is shown by serious people, working hard to explain us what their drive is. George W. Bush or Jan P. Balkenende are such guys in politics. In every profession there are guys who have humor in all their actions. Not on…

  • How not to get hit by cars !

    I saw this internet site a long time ago. Despite the fact that I live in the Netherlands, where there are lots and lots of bicycle paths, I think that the info on this site can’t be read too much ! Therefore I added it to my blogroll. This is a must read site too !

  • poles apart

    As we all know, men and women are poles apart. Sometimes they complement, sometimes the differences are too much to combine the lifestiles within one household. This video shows the differences between the men and women when taking a shower.

  • toads in our pond

    I counted about 11 toads in our pond. They are busy having sex, I think. Within a few days their egs will be food for lots of other animals. The offspring from these toads that survives, will come back to our pond next year. They croak whole night long; but not so loud as frogs…

  • Lots and lots of videos with recumbents !

    YouTube has an area where members can join “Groups” (it’s free) to share videos with other group members . There is also a recumbent group ! If you have videos made while riding your recumbent, please upload them to YouTube and share them inside this group. If you just like to have a view, this…

  • bidon holder

    I bought this bidon holder at Bever Zwerfsport. It is suitable to hold the 1,5 liter bottles. Now I just have to find the best place to mount it on my bike. It’s called the “Minoura PET picker” (AB-1500) specially disigned for the 1 and 1,5 liter lemonade bottles. So I can use a cheap PET…

  • cycle sideways ?

    There is always a guy in some shed who tries to invent the wheel again and from that startingpoint also creates a whole new bicycle ! I think it is just nice to see this bicycle and trying to find out how it works. See for yourself on the BBC news  on this link ! Don’t say…

  • here comes the sun

    I worked in the nightshift and was commuting home in the early morning on my recumbent. The sunrise was beautifull and made clear that wintertime was ending. Days are getting longer from now on. During that hour it takes me to get home, the sky turns from dark to bright. I had my camera with…

  • RAAM (race across America)

    Some people asked me where to find the old promo-video for RAAM out of 2004. They wanted to see the awefull movie again ! Well you can find it here. And all the other info for RAAM is here.

  • alleycat race NYC 2007 is coming soon !

    The 17-th of Februari 2007 the “monster track” race is organised in New York City again ! I can’t wait to see the photos and videos on the internet. Always admire the stupid bravery of the bike messengers ! I wonder why these alleycat-races are unknown in Amsterdam; or am I wrong ? I ‘d…

  • Snow in Vlissingen

    It’s snowing in Vlissingen. There has been sprinkled a lot of salt on the roads. Without those actions it would be impossible for cardrivers to keep driving, but the salt is ruining the bike-stuff, like the chain and the derailleur. Not to mention what salt does to the aluminium wheels. So I was glad (and…

  • A bicycle , not meant for cycling !!!

    Koga Miyata made only 50 bicycles of the model they named “the Spyker” (Koga Aeroblade). Handmade and because of all the rarity very expensive (12.500 euro). The sultan of Brunei has one and also the King of Jordan. How does it look ? You can find a video (spoken in Dutch) here .

  • HPV races in Velodrome in Alkmaar (Netherlands)

    The 1000 meters sprint and 40 minutes criterium in the Velodrome in Alkmaar (the Netherlands) where Hans Wessels showed he was in better shape than Ymte Sijbrandij ! You can find the results here .

  • my commute

    I took my photo-camera and made some video’s during my commute. It is 25 kilometers (one-way) and the weather was bright sunny .
