… 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.

Sam & Laura surfed our couch. Want to know more; see couchsurfing.org . It’s for the travellers of the future. For freedom and understanding in the world. For a sustainable earth, and a lot more of that kind of vague language. Cycling and couchsurfing are the keywords for this new generation !

The Dutch don’t celebrate Labor Day (anymore). So I’ve done some simple things like checking our roof , cleaning the shed and doing some shopping …
…. and made some nice photos in our garden.

“… trying to find a place where I could lay my head …” He found it on April 19th in New York; he was 71. Too old to die young …..
The lady of the house has been to Qatar to visit her friend. An impression in photos is here.

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….

… are in “de Achterhoek” , near a small village called Vorden. I went there just to catch some memories. Ofcourse every time I get the chance I visit the graveyard where lots of my forefathers are buried. because ; “A’j oe veurolders neet eert, bu’j oe name neet weerd” ( “If you don’t honour your ancestors,…………..You’re not worthy to use your surname“)
I camped one night on “camping de Boomgaard” owned by a cousin of me. It’s a Vekabo- camping. It was good to hear the dialect of this region again.
I visited some shops, but also strolled through the woodlands with my dog. 40 years ago I have been hiking with my aunt’s dog through the same woods without any problem. But nowadays I’m not allowed to do anything; no smoking, keep my dog leashed, keep on the track, ……. I think that the foundation “het Geldersch Landschap” ruined the landscape architecture with regulations and by stopping the vitality of nature. They regard ” de Achterhoek” as an enormously private garden for their members.
One of the voluntary workers made perfectly clear that I was not welcome in the woods on “de Lochemse berg” if I didn’t keep my dog leashed. It made me sad …
… 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 !
