  • omloop het volk …

    … start of the season !

  • Kwets …

    … on two wheels. Hayco is showing why his Quest is called Kwets in this video (long time ago).

  • Seattle Snowpocalypse

    This will work in the Dutch snow as well as in the Seattle snow …  😉 I always have some of those zip ties in my velomobile and only my rear tire will need some of them ….. via Seattle Snowpocalypse.

  • it’s wintertime …

    … and unfortunately the cables of brakes and hubgear on my Bullitt were frozen. So I decided to defrost them inside our livingroom. Luckily my wife didn’t protest  😉 Tomorrow I’ll try to spray some thin oil inside the cables to get it damp-resistant.
