  • Damn, it is RED!

    I wanted a Red Bullitt and called the only dealer of this bike in Holland ; Cyclomail in Leiden. Basically they started a company for bike messengers a few years ago, but their love for the Bullitt made them start a dealership for this marvellous bike too. I decided to use the full service of…

  • Theories of Bicycle Pornography

    1980s b/w interview with Dr Paul Berry. Celebrate the beauty and sexuality of bicycles. Bicycles are objects of human desire. Objectification of bicycles. Humans make bikes; human make babies too. Bicycles are brought into life as adults. Don’t use the term ‘riding’ or ‘rider’. ‘Ride or ‘riding’ is a dominant relationship term. Use ‘cyclist’ instead.…

    I stumbled on this Flickr photo-set of Julian Simpson. He is definitely a lover of Marinoni bikes ! So he took a photo of his bike and did what every bike-lover would do; with a lot of imagination he added some extra fantasy …….. It’s a pity that the guys of Velomobiel.nl didn’t make the…

  • cyclocomputer

    The thin cable for my cyclocomputer touched the tyre and because of that, the signal to the computer interrupted. I tried to fix it and used another cable, but without success. So I made a phone-call to velomobiel.nl ; they advised me to buy a new cable. The hole in the wheelbox is 8 mm…

    I ordered some new replacement parts for my velomobile. Velomobiel.nl sent it from Dronten and two working-days later I recieved the package ! No strange questions, no advertisement-talk to sell other stuff, no wrong sizes, no other materials …………. and much cheaper than the bike shop in my neighbourhood ! I threw this silver TREASURE…

    I changed a few wheels on my sprocket today, and while doing that ……….. I discovered that the inner cable was still working with only ONE tread !!!!! So, just in time ……  pfew !

  • EMPO

    Only this plate is left from my fathers bicycle. The old frame is thrown away many years ago. It wasn’t possible to repair the old brakes, bearings and forks …… at least not by a simple guy like me.  It would be more like a restauration. see; http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empo EMPO, originally uploaded by wim harwig.
