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.

It started small
This flat tyre was the cause that I arrived much too late at work. The spare innertube I had also peeped out and blew up with a loud bang. So I had to walk for 12 kilometers back home. Luckily I had my mobile phone with me and found my daughters willing to collect meContinue reading “It started small”
