Life …

… is good when having a vacation!      Watching Gent-Wevelgem on the TV, watching our pond turning into a delivery room and watching my skin healing thanks to all the advice I got from you ……

I failed …

… to reach Hoorn. Not because I was too tired, or wasn’t in good shape. I had troubles with my skin around my genitalia. It was soft and sweaty, so that the skin turned red and became very very painful. I used some lip-balsam (I always have it inside the Quest) but it worked only for a few minutes. Anyone has good advice, please ? Standing at the ferry to Velsen-Noord, I decided to turn around and go back home. I arrived back home at midnight and had done 375 km. according to GPS and 402 km. to Cateye.

It was a good ride, I saw many cyclists on my route. Unfortunately I felt a headache coming up (due to the exhaust gasses ?) but it quickly disappeared when I cycled through the Dutch dunes with clean and clear sea-air.

St. Patrick’s Day

A nice advertisement. I liked it ….

The Neistat brothers are back …

I read this article in the NYTimes.com and remembered their first video about stealing bikes.  Now it is Casey Neistat who made a new video.

“I recently spent a couple of days conducting a bike theft experiment, which I first tried with my brother Van in 2005.  I locked my own bike up and then proceeded to steal it, using brazen means — like a giant crowbar — in audacious locations, including directly in front of a police station. I wanted to find out whether onlookers or the cops would intervene.  What you see here in my film are the results.”

I like to smoke …

…. 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.

I found a bike today …

Funny little song and video; I liked it.

stupid and mean scum …

… trying to break the brake cables with his bare hands.

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).

When a dog licks his nose …

… he is feeling uncomfortable! It is a clear sign for other dogs, but we humans don’t seem to understand it. We probably think that dogs are using their tongue as a handkerchief ….

And when “strangers” are coming too close, any dog will react like we would when a complete stranger is trying to give us a “French kiss” …

Dogs are as dangourous as the bread-knife in our kitchen cabinet. Unfortunately some people never learn and have to be protected from dogs.
