  • Good idea …

    … deserves to be copied by Dutch mayors ! See; http://grist.org/list/ithaca-mayor-turns-his-personal-parking-space-into-a-mini-park/

  • Pyrénées

    We’re back alive from our vacation we spent travelling with our motorhome through the Pyrénées in Spain. For a slideshow you can click on the photo ; And like the tradition in this family wants, there is a short video ;

  • So you think how to control a bicycle …

    … 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…

  • “That is how a bicycle is made “

    I like everything about this film; the photography, the pronunciation, the scenario, the technique, the old machines, etc,etc.

  • review of the hood (race cap)

    Daniël asked me if I wanted to write a review of the hood (or race cap), which I use on my Quest. Well, because I think it’s a good idea and Wim Schermer consistently writes his blog only in Dutch, here it comes; I bought the hood that is sold by velomobielonderdelen.nl and I decided…

  • Couchsurfing.org

    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 !

  • Labor Day

    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. one of the many frogs  

  • Onze Collega Jan Wijnen is met met zijn gezin naar Roemenie verhuisd om daar namens Velomobiel.nl een werkplaats op te zetten voor de bouw van velomobielen. De fundamenten zijn gelegd en deze week arriveert de eerste vrachtwagen met bouwelementen uit Belgie. Our colleague Jan Wijnen moved with his family to Romania to set up a…

  • Levon Helm

    “… 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 …..

  • stainless steel …

    … doesn’t mean maintenance-free. Six of the spokes in the front-tire of Marjan’s bicycle broke while it was standing unused in our shed. Bad quality, I guess.  I renewed them with normal but tougher ones.

  • Qatar

    The lady of the house has been to Qatar to visit her friend. An impression in photos is here.

  • And again I started with Pink Floyd …

    … on my virginal white motorhome. Not by writing the band’s name (as on our old motorhome), but with a text that immediately refers to it.  So now bored people have something to do, when they’re driving in the traffic-jam behind me.  😉  There’s lots of space left, so it’ll take some time before all…

  • cyclist in Moscow

    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…

  • when I let my dog out …

    … the situation is like this ….    , but it’s getting better every day 😉 stole it from www

  • go cycling, it’s Springtime !
