… I thought I knew too. But after seeing the next video, I learned a lot more 
It took Jason Moore seven years to find out what techniques we’re using for a simple bike ride. Suddenly I realize why I like my three-wheeled velomobile so much
Here is a video of his doctoral exit seminar ;
I like everything about this film; the photography, the pronunciation, the scenario, the technique, the old machines, etc,etc.

Tim wrote ; “This is why I hate driving in Moscow and love riding my bike”.
But this video made me realize that my idea of traffic in Russia needs an update….. All the cars I see in this video, are modern-looking cars which could also be seen in Rome, Paris, London or Paris. I expected much more old-fashioned cars …
Tim is doing good work for all cyclists in Moscow; he has uploaded lots of nice videos you can see on his YouTube-channel. He is documenting his rides very well with video-cameras. I think he is forced to do so, because when you’re the only cyclist in such a big city, you’re outlawed by the police. You’re on your own….

… it looks like attempted murder to me. It is situated in Gent St Lievenspoort. All cyclists have green, but the motorists are not aware of it because they don’t see the traffic light (which is only meant for the cyclists). The Cyclists’ Union is complaining, but without success and hopes to make things clear with this video.
Let’s make this viral !

…. while I’m cycling in my velomobile. People don’t understand; cycling and smoking doesn’t seem appropriate. This old advertisement shows otherwise
I’m not the only one …. see here for a short slideshow.

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 …..

The freezing weather reminds me of all the long hikes I made through the woodlands in “de Achterhoek” when I was young. A song written and performed by Normaal, gives a nice impression of my memories …
Op een kolde winteravond, as ‘t vrus as ‘t bast
Op de vievers en de bekken glimt ‘t ies as glas
Op de bulten van de Hummelse hei ligt een dik pak snee
Op de losse plekken in het bos loopt sporen van een ree
D’n onbewolkten winterloch, die lik meer peers dan blauw
A-j buuten iets te doene hebt, dan doe je ‘t bliksemsgauw
De kniens en de fazanten die scharrelt deur ‘t kruppelholt
De streupers die blieft binnen, ‘t is eur völs te kold
Ies kan liehn, ies kan liehn
Margen goat wi-j schaatsen riehn
Ies kan liehn, ies kan liehn
Ik heb der lange noar uutgezien
‘t Holt dat knetterd in de kachel, ‘t is der lekker heit
Noa de koffie kump de foezel, i-j krupt dichter bi-j ow meid
En as der goed gezoppen wurt, de verhalen die goat in het rond
Bi-j ‘t fornuus, bunt ‘t helden, allenig met den mond
Ies kan liehn, ies kan liehn
Margen goat wi-j schaatsen riehn
Ies kan liehn, ies kan liehn
Ik heb der lange noar uutgezien
And just for the people who speak the language ; the next lyrics seem to come right out of my heart ….
Ik doe mien auto an de kant, en fiets now deur ‘t land
Ik werk niet meer commercieel, en verdien dus ok niet völ
Ik bedenk hele hopen idealen, loop d’r allenig moar van te balen
Vervuiling doe’k niet meer an met, stoa alleen uut met de pret
Godverredomme, woar doe ik ‘t veur
Ik sloof mien uut, en ‘t helpt gin zak
Godverredomme, woar doe ik ‘t veur
‘t Geet niet veuruut, ‘t maakt gin donder uut
De hele wereld geet d’r an, en iedereen wet d’r van
Ik vertel het wie ‘t wil heuren, maar nooit zal d’r iets gebeuren
Zi-j denkt alleen moar an fatsoen, zi-j wilt nergens iets an doen
Zi-j denkt an een ni-je inbouwkeuken, i-j mossen doar de koppen op mekaar beuken
Godverredomme, woar doe ik ‘t veur
Ik sloof mien uut, en ‘t helpt gin zak
Godverredomme, woar doe ik ‘t veur
‘t Geet niet veuruut, ‘t maakt gin donder uut
Oh, ‘t kan toch zo niet langer goan, zo blif d’r niks bestoan
Ik vertel ‘t iedereen, moar zi-j zegt: loop toch hen
Zi-j denkt alleen moar an de poen, en wat zi-j veur zichzelf kan doen
Zi-j denkt alleen an vretten en neuken, mossen doar de koppen op mekaar beuken
Godverredomme, woar doe ik ‘t veur
Ik sloof mien uut, en ‘t helpt gin zak
Godverredomme, woar doe ik ‘t veur
‘t Geet niet veuruut, ‘t maakt gin donder uut
Godverredomme, woar doe ik ‘t veur
‘t Geet niet veuruut, ‘t maakt gin donder uut
I can appreciate this advertisement. No screaming voices, no hollow text and no empty promises. Just “what you see is what you get”.
What should be added, is the warning that only daily cyclists will understand and appreciate the humor !
