  • made in Normandie

    I like this video ! I hope to see more like these on the internet soon ……….. And  Normandie is a  real  beautiful  country for cycling !

  • velomobiling in wintertime

  • fabulous people

    We live in a world of economics. Everything is expressed in money. Even the time I watch television is of some worth to the advertising company’s. The medical health care, the lack of space on high ways during peak-hour, the seconds that it takes to prepare a McDonalds-menu, here in the Netherlands there even exists…

  • new Vredestein HPV 40-406 tyres

    I examined the tyres of my Quest today. There was a sort of wave in the right front tyre; maybe one of the two woven layers was torn ? This tyre had rolled 4200 kilometers and it seems that that is the distance it will serve my velomobile reliable. I have checked the pressure weekly…

  • Purple Tree Band again……..

    “Purple Tree comes off as a refreshing new vibe instead of another Sgt. Peppers era Beatles wannabe band […] Their lyrics have lyrical substance to them, unlike what you would hear with main-stream music today. ” ~N.R.Mozis, ROCKBAND.COM see all their work here LYRICS: Shotguns fire away Lifeless bodies decay Someone told me to pray…

  • 68 years ago

    History doesn’t exist ; it is reinvented every time someone  wants to tell or write about it. I found two videos where one historical fact is shown in a totally different way. the German story ; the Dutch story ;

  • tyre trouble

    I have “Vredestijn HPV“- tyres on my Velomobile. They are comfortable, but pick up lots of small sharp stones. I don’t blame the tyres for it, but I do think that the professionals who decide to “protect” the cycle path with these stoney needles needs to be discharged ! Nice flat silky asphalt roads will…

  • Tenax

    I used a Tenax mounting for my windscreen on the velomobile. It takes a few seconds to place or remove it :

  • The root of all evil………

    When you have some time left, then take a look at this documentary. It is presented by Richard Dawkins, a well known atheïst. Each video takes about 45 minutes. ]

  • windshield

    Once I saw a velomobile with a simple home-made windshield. The last few weeks there was lots of stormy winds during my commute. So I decided to make a windshield too. I bought a screen for a crash helmet with fixed visor (the ones which are used by motorcyclists), and adapted it for use in…

  • cloudy Vlissingen

    This is a link to a Power Point Presentation that my neighbour Kosbie send me by email. I think it is too nice not to show it to you all…….. ( 4 Mb ) clouds over Vlissingen

  • Shimano sandal with cleat

    Today I bought these sandals. I only heard positive things about these sandals in velomobiles by users.  So now I can find out myself….. I have thought of the simple idea to make something like Gary did…….. ……but when I realized that Rob Thomson already tested the Shimano sandels to the extreme on his travels…

  • Sheldon Brown

    Yesterday I’ve heard that Sheldon Brown had a serious heart attack and died………….. With him we loose a great cyclist………… Now the only thing we can do to honour him is to visit his pages as a homage.

  • new T-shirts

    Our new T-shirts ; When you’re on a recumbent, no one can see the text on the backside……..     So it will be clear that Marjan seldom uses her recumbent, while I use mine daily 😉
