  • Children of the grave

    In the Arabic world all kind of revolutions are taking place.  Listen to an old advice from Black Sabbath. The speed rises about 5 km/h if I listen to this song in my velomobile ! Many bands tried to copy Black Sabbath, but in my opinion none succeeded ! Revolution in their minds – the…

    Peak phosfate ; the story (in Dutch)

  • Screaming Women

    This is something I hope to experience too, when I have the cap on my Quest….

  • Cap for my Quest.

    I decided to order a cap for my velomobile at a webshop ; velomobielonderdelen (“velomobile-parts” in English). The famous Wim Schermer is starting the production of these caps soon. He thinks the production will be about three per week. It’s not cheap, but I’m not able to make them better and cheaper myself. Wim (and…

  • Halal

    In my opinion we should know and understand the facts about our food. So if we eat meat, we should be aware that it is slaughtered animal. Sometimes friends ask me why I don’t like the “products” from those friendly islamic shopkeepers ….. These days, even well-educated people don’t realize what halal means. This video…

  • cycling in the Netherlands

    A video made by Mark , based on these data.

  • Even God loves America

    Sometimes it’s nice to have a look in the 1960’s 1970’s, like in the first video .  Gives me a nostalgic feeling … What has become of the old musicians ? Well CS&N are still going strong !

  • couch

    My parents-in-law bought this couch a long time ago. It went through a lot of family  happiness and resisted  several large dogs. After we inherited the couch we used it many years in our living room too. The past few years it stood on our porch. If it only could talk …… many, many tales…

  • hettysite

    My cousin Hetty describes a scene in her blog wich happened a long time ago. It made me laugh. Dit zijn ook de badhokjes waar tante Hermien en tante Riek in hun jonge jaren zich in omgekleed hebben in waarschijnlijk een heel ordentelijk badpak voor die tijd. De verkleedpartij duurde nogal. En toen Hermien uiteindelijk…

  • Stones

    I was listening to my MP3-player during my commute today and turned up the volume when I heard this old Stones-song. Fortuitous the first video I saw on my google-reader was the same old Stones-song, but in a very inspiring montage. I liked it a lot and immediately turned up the volume to the max…

    My neighbour’s son bought this fine restored Buick. I immediately took some photos ! Buick Business Class 1937, originally uploaded by wim harwig.

  • Bakfiets en Meer » Blog Archive » Guest Post: Cargo Bikes and the Information Revolution.

    Henry from Workcycles describes all kinds of cargo-bikes and I think it is worth to re-blog …… Also the rest of his blog is always an interesting read for cyclists. Bakfiets en Meer » Blog Archive » Guest Post: Cargo Bikes and the Information Revolution..

  • bullitt shopping

    The Lady of the House normally gathers all the fresh food during her daily commute and I do the heavy and bulky stuff once a week with the Bullitt. bullitt shopping, originally uploaded by wim harwig.

  • Video Camera Cyclists (via The Views of a Cyclist from Croydon)

    In the Netherlands we (cyclists) should register more and more situations on our daily commute. Not only to use as evidence in court, but mainly to show the rest of the world how infrastructure for cyclists is organised here ….. For examples of “how to” and “why” GAZ545 made a list of cyclist who are…
