    Rob Luxton’s adventure on a three wheeled recumbent tricycle will take him 25,000km all around China, passing through every province on the mainland.The expedition will also help raise awareness and money for two Charities ; Sowers Action and Care For Children. Both dedicated to improving the lives of children in poor areas throughout China. Beginning…

  • 78-speed records

    cleaning the old records that we inherited from our patents.

  • T-shirt

    Just a few day’s waiting and the T-shirts were delivered…….. At first sight, the quality is good. I think it’s made with the same high standard as the stuff from LARGE . But we’ll see, time and a lot of washing will tell………. Cheap T-shirt prints usually perish inside the washing machine ; and when…

  • cleaning….

    working hard to clean the apartment of my daughter. Coffee is my my most important tool.     😉

  • verhuisdoos

    23-01-08_1322.jpg, originally uploaded by wim harwig. Her study didn’t work as it was supposed to… now she is moving back to “her old folks” again. which means a lot of work ! Because she moved twice within six month, I gave her the temporary nickname “verhuis-doos”. 😉

  • Velomobile printed on shirts

    “Spreadshirt” is printing good quality T-shirts and selling via Internet. There are many designers who use Spreadshirt for there products. One of these guys has started “Verteflamme’s”. He made some designs with velomobiles and recumbent-trikes! So now you can order your own velomobile T-shirt.  Of coarse I like the red Quest design most of all…

    I was touring with Zilt through Zeeland.

  • Gavin the Abrasive Scotsman

    Gavin made a nice impression of a ride on his recumbent. He did a lot of editing on this video …………… see for yourself :

  • new cleat set

    My cleats were worn after 7 years of use. I use them every day and relatively do a lot of walking. The cleats make easy contact with the ground because the rubber sole of my Shimano shoes is not thick enough to prevent it.

  • I am still alive

    I get a medical check-up every year now, because I am a sort of volunteer to use a gas mask (like the fire department uses in case of heavy smoke) at my work in case of unforeseen circumstance. The last medical test was a year ago. The test showed that my VO2max has risen from…

  • after 2800 kilometer

    I replaced the HPV tyre of my left front wheel. I was despondent of finding all the small stones and removing them from the soft rubber-surface. The problem of buying other, more protective tyres is not where or how to buy; but………. which tyres ? I’m still searching on all the velomobile blogs for other…

  • sunrider velomobile starts production !

    Sunrider has started their production-line. I think that it’s going to be a handy velomobile for use in crowded city-traffic, where manoeuvrability is more important than speed. See all details on their website………
