  • Gavin the Abrasive Scotsman

    Gavin made a nice impression of a ride on his recumbent. He did a lot of editing on this video …………… see for yourself :

  • new cleat set

    My cleats were worn after 7 years of use. I use them every day and relatively do a lot of walking. The cleats make easy contact with the ground because the rubber sole of my Shimano shoes is not thick enough to prevent it.

  • I am still alive

    I get a medical check-up every year now, because I am a sort of volunteer to use a gas mask (like the fire department uses in case of heavy smoke) at my work in case of unforeseen circumstance. The last medical test was a year ago. The test showed that my VO2max has risen from…

  • after 2800 kilometer

    I replaced the HPV tyre of my left front wheel. I was despondent of finding all the small stones and removing them from the soft rubber-surface. The problem of buying other, more protective tyres is not where or how to buy; but………. which tyres ? I’m still searching on all the velomobile blogs for other…

  • sunrider velomobile starts production !

    Sunrider has started their production-line. I think that it’s going to be a handy velomobile for use in crowded city-traffic, where manoeuvrability is more important than speed. See all details on their website………

  • 2007 years old

    In this youtube-video we can see how Jesus is celebrating his 2007-th birthday !

  • magazines for cyclists

    The postman delivered the two best cycling magazines I know. By coincidence on the same day (2 Jan 2008) ; must be an omen for a good cycling year ! So no cycling today; just a strong cup of coffee,  make myself comfortable on the couch and a lot of reading…….. magazines for cyclists, originally…

  • oliebollen and appelflappen

    (I updated my video in the previous post, so have a look again)  Marjan made plenty “oliebollen” and “appelflappen” for New Year’s Eve. She gave me some, to take to my work. I had a night-shift 😦 I hope you all had a nice and cosey New Year’s Eve among family and friends. The best…

  • “oliebollen”-tour

    Now my ODO is 2611 kilometers since 25 October. I cycled 552 kilometers during the last 3 days due to my presence at the “oliebollentocht”. On my way to the Veluwe (about 220 km) I had two flat tyres and some trouble with the chain. I stayed two nights with family in Achterveld, about 20…

  • have some nice days

    I’m used to the fact that both our parents died long ago. So we don’t have to drive for hundreds of kilometers to visit them during Christmas time. When the old vinyl records are on our turntable, playing all the ancient Christmas songs; I have a feeling they are visiting us now……….. Now I’ll have…

  • Best christmas film ever !

    Bieslog’s opinion is that the next video is “the best christmas film ever”. I agree 😉 UPDATE : A few weeks later a Dumpert-reporter visited Lou and Tiny again. (thanks for the link, Peter)

  • Company magazine

    The magazine is called “Insight”, subtitled ; “The social community of Thermphos and her people”. In this edition there was an article that introduced the concept “Velomobile”. A few weeks earlier I had a short interview, during which I overhanded the well known velomobile- flyer’s. The article shows that the editor used the flyer-info largely.…

    Just a short video………
