10.000 kilometers

Posted on August 10, 2008 | Leave a comment

Today I made a short trip with my velomobile to pass the 10.000 kilometer on my ODO !

I started commuting with my velomobile in the last week of October 2007, so I do about 1000 kilometers each month. see the velomobile-riders list at velomobile.nl

Cycle Vision 2008

Posted on June 27, 2008 | Leave a comment

I made a short video of Cycle Vision which was being held last weekend.

The results are shown here.


I will dump the rest of all the material as a sort of camcorder-dump at google in parts, because it allows maximum only 10 minutes per video. But this dump will take some time….

I will be present at Cycle Vision in Sloten, the Netherlands. It will be held  during 21 and 22 June ( next weekend). I am planning to take some video and photos.

To give you an idea of what it’s like; see the video I made last year ……….

Welpie

Posted on June 13, 2008 | 1 Comment

It’s an advertising gadget that a well known Dutch company (Albert Heijn ) uses during the European Soccer Championship. see their advertisement-clip here.
With a little imagination you’re suppose to recognize the “Dutch Lion”.
As long as the Dutch soccer-eleven is in the race, I will have it attached on my velomobile ……..

Cycle Vision 2008

Posted on June 8, 2008 | Leave a comment

21 and 22 June I will visit Cycle Vision in Sloten (near Amsterdam,the Netherlands). I was there last year and made a video impression on this blog. I am planning to document some of the happening this year once again. If you’re able to be there ; be there ! You can find all the info here (English behind the flag)

I liked the next video of the 6 hour race at Victoria Park Adelaide. It looks like there is not a single Quest participating in this race ! Here in the Netherlands the Quest will form a majority among the race-machines.

I am impressed by the amount of public alongside the track. Of course there is much more open land and park in Australia, but I hope that Cycle Vision will find an equal sort of space somewhere in the Netherlands in the future. The race is more attractive for visitors when you’re able to follow each velomobile on the lap. By organising the races at a public park, the recumbentbikes and velomobiles will also be seen by coincidental passer-by. I think it is important that more and more people get used to the idea that recumbents are a “normal” presence in traffic !

Barbara Buatois is trying a new bike, the l’Altair, which she will be using for a new speed record on 12 Juli.
Francesco Russo tried the same in his machine last summer on the same track, the CERAM speedway about 40 kilometers near Paris in France.

Eastermeeting 2008

Posted on March 28, 2008 | Leave a comment

During Easter I went to the “Harskamperdennen”, a camping at the Veluwe where a lot of other recumbent cyclists were together for three nights. This year it was freezing cold and the weatherforecast said there would be snow-showers…….. We were lucky, because at the times we planned a visit to the museum on Saturday and a cycling tour on Sunday the weather was quite OK.

I made videos during the weekend and edited them to 26 minutes. It shows my impression of those days. There were made a lot of photos by other recumbent-cyclists, you can find them here .
