  • Kurt Vonnegut

    The Last Rites of the Bokononist Faith (excerpt)   God made mud. God got lonesome. So God said to some of the mud, “Sit up!” “See all I’ve made,” said God, “the hills, the sea, the sky, the stars.” And I was some of the mud that got to sit up and look around. Lucky…

  • God

    This is too serious to be funny ! Although I have to laugh out loud when I see things like this. The brother or sister who made this video and uploaded it on the Internet will experience how strong the impact of publication is. I hope that “Michael” will become a wise man after all…

  • Marjan

    It looks like summer this week ! Marjan and I, both spent a few days to work in our garden.   Marjan, originally uploaded by wim harwig.

  • “Coasting”

    Thanks to ” recumbent cyclist ” , I read about the new strategy of the Shimano- company. Shimano is going to invest lots and lots of money to get all car-driving Rednecks on a bike. Therefore they need a bike which can be used without technical knowledge. So a “new” type of bicycle is going to be promoted and…

  • The best “stand-up” comedian.

    The best I ever saw. Although this video is from 1990 , it still is a “must see” (IMHO). Bill Hicks died in 1994, but his performances are still a inspiration for today’s comedians. If you understand the sarcasm and humor, it means your my age ! So nothing wrong with you, just smile and…

  • which country will they invade next ?

  • Xtra cycle

    While having a flu, I stayed in my bed  for a good sweat and a lot of coughing. Between those bed-scenes, I read some other blogs on the Internet. I found one which is called : bikes? rubbish! It is actually a bicycle-blog with very high quality-photos. I am glad to see that there are people like Derek and Sara living…

  • new and old chainrings

    You can see the differences between the used and new chain-rings. All I have to do now is wait till my flu is over and then I have to mount the new stuff on my recumbent. This moment me and my bike are both a little bit ill.    😦 new and old chainrings, originally uploaded…

  • M5 ligfietsen

    Luckily I live nearby the famous recumbent-shop owned by Bram Moens. He designs, builds and sells his M5-recumbents at his shop in Middelburg.  

  • used chainring

    The last 500 kilometers every now and than my chain whipped of the front chain-ring. A closer look at the teeth on that chain-ring learned that only renewing the chain wouldn’t be sufficient ; I also had to buy a new chain-ring.

    Saturday March 31- 2007 we had a ride on our bicycles around the “Oosterschelde” in the Netherlands. It was a bright sunny and windy day. We met at Simon’s house in Heinkenszand. He planned a route of about 90 kilometers long. After the ride Simon stood us a Heineken in Heinekenszand 😉 When I got…
