  • Thorsten Jankowski

    Thorsten Jankowski is a photographer who has the courage to show his photos on Flickr. He is describing his work as “sculpture nudes” and because there are no famous examples in photography, he mentions the work of the classic sculptor Auguste Rodin as an inspiration. You can see a slideshow of about 200 photos here.…

  • keeping my chest warm !

    When riding in my Quest, I don’t need much clothes to keep warm. The streamliner works as a wind shield. When I use the black cover of soft foam I am sweating like a horse ! So I am normally riding without the cover. But……..without the cover only my chest gets cold, very cold in…

  • bike tour around Los Angeles

  • tried to make a “glove-compartment” for my Quest.

    First I tried to make a “prototype” and then a longer and more definitive example with a cover. I used an old thin camping mattress, so it is light and flexible stuff. Now I have to  make the definitive version which follows the form between quest bottom and side better (it’s not a sharp 90…

  • recumbent races in Groningen

    Nice videos ! because I plan to ride the “oliebollentocht” on 28 December , I’ll add this video for a good impression of the ride which is being held in the coldest part of the year (typical quest-conditions)

  • maiden trip from Dronten to Vlissingen

    I ordered a Quest at velomobiel.nl and found out that I was supposed to wait for three years according to the order-list. Luckily it took only two years in practice, because many buyers order their second, third or more quests for a certain year. So when velomobiel.nl cleaned up their order-list it showed mine to…

  • LYN

    A colleague is playing lead-guitar in a band called LYN. At work we compare him with Neil, the long haired hippie from “the young ones”, who might as well be a Leonard Cohen record. But when he is on stage, he expresses himself as a heavy headbanger ! some videos to get an impression of…

  • Velovision

    In issue 27 of Velovision ( www.velovision.com ) is an article about helmet cameras. The safety angle was a new aspect for me…. Just use a 2 Gigabyte memory-card during your ride and if nothing happens, just delete it. But if you register a dangerous traffic-situation on your camera, you have the best means to…

  • Quest 215
