  • windshield

    Once I saw a velomobile with a simple home-made windshield. The last few weeks there was lots of stormy winds during my commute. So I decided to make a windshield too. I bought a screen for a crash helmet with fixed visor (the ones which are used by motorcyclists), and adapted it for use in…

  • Shimano sandal with cleat

    Today I bought these sandals. I only heard positive things about these sandals in velomobiles by users.  So now I can find out myself….. I have thought of the simple idea to make something like Gary did…….. ……but when I realized that Rob Thomson already tested the Shimano sandels to the extreme on his travels…

His experience is interesting for me, because he uses his…

  • T-shirt

    Just a few day’s waiting and the T-shirts were delivered…….. At first sight, the quality is good. I think it’s made with the same high standard as the stuff from LARGE . But we’ll see, time and a lot of washing will tell………. Cheap T-shirt prints usually perish inside the washing machine ; and when…

He made some designs with velomobiles and recumbent-trikes! So now you can order your own velomobile T-shirt.  Of coarse I like the red Quest design most of all…
