  • Police unaware of accidents .

    I called the police to make a declaration about the traffic accident in which my velomobile was damaged.

So I asked her where the statistics for dangerous traffic-situations were based on, if nothing is reported in situations like…

  • damaged quest

    A young guy wanted to park his car at the parking. He therefore had to cross the bicycle-path alongside the road. After he damaged my quest velomobile he said that he didn’t see me in my red, 2.8 meter long quest …….. The polyester coated fairring is very thin and vulnerable, but nevertheless it protected…

  • Sinterklaas

  • drum brake

    I had to clean the two drum-brakes because my quest-velomobile was giving extra resistance for a few seconds every time I used the brake. To clean the brakes I had to disassemble the wheel and when doing so, I noticed that my quest has another type of ball-joints than is shown in the manual.

  • compaq

    It was necessary to get buy a new notebook. The old Acer was showing several faults, and the screen was partly damaged. Due to the upcoming financial crises all shops are stunting with their prices for notebooks. So I decided it was about time to do an investment in one of my hobby’s …………. compaq,…
