  • Ride for the Roses

    Yesterday I went to Goes, from where the Ride for the Roses was organised. 14,000 riders were joining this ride, and about 9000 of them did 100 kilometers. There were just 2 velomobiles. Pieter used his Alleweder A3 V24 and I was there with my Quest. Some guys do a pre-ride ; this year they…

  • fully loaded

    Steve Roy is a  Canadian couch surfer who surfed our place when he passed Vlissingen during his cycling trip from Brussels to Rotterdam. He was “well equipped” and had to move a lot of unnecessary stuff ( in my opinion ).

  • Still we ride …..

    A video in 4 parts on YouTube which shows the cultural situation for bikers in a “modern democratic country” like the United States of America. PART 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

  • using a skate board

    I always wondered how they made the wonderful video-shots of the fixed gear bicycles. Now I know ……. they use a skate board 🙂

  • Cycle Vision 2008

    I made a short video of Cycle Vision which was being held last weekend. The results are shown here. I will dump the rest of all the material as a sort of camcorder-dump at google in parts, because it allows maximum only 10 minutes per video. But this dump will take some time….

  • EuroQuest

    EuroQuest was travelling from Rotterdam to Belgium and asked us if it was possible to stay a night at our place. Of course , for a Quest rider we just make it possible ! For all details, take a look at his wonderful homepage :http://www.klokkenluiders.nl/euroquest/index.php?page=20080622.htm

  • modern world

    I think this video from reuters shows perfectly the newest ideas about the coming “modern world” and how to be prepared for it. Have a look :

    I will be present at Cycle Vision in Sloten, the Netherlands. It will be held  during 21 and 22 June ( next weekend). I am planning to take some video and photos. To give you an idea of what it’s like; see the video I made last year ……….

  • Cycle Vision 2008

    21 and 22 June I will visit Cycle Vision in Sloten (near Amsterdam,the Netherlands). I was there last year and made a video impression on this blog. I am planning to document some of the happening this year once again. If you’re able to be there ; be there ! You can find all the…

  • Life ; get out and live it.

  • Cycling the Dutch way …..

    I made a short video in which you see just some cyclists on a bike path near a busy intersection in Vlissingen, the Netherlands. It was warm and sunny weather and because it was noon you see relatively more children. The way cyclists dress and behave is different compared to countries with less bicycle density.…

  • new record bike ?

    Barbara Buatois is trying a new bike, the l’Altair, which she will be using for a new speed record on 12 Juli. Francesco Russo tried the same in his machine last summer on the same track, the CERAM speedway about 40 kilometers near Paris in France.

  • Good old cycling times.

    When I first saw these videos, I had to laugh ! They show the British bicycle culture as it was way back in 1955. If you’re too old to die young, then you’ll go back in memory when seeing these two vid’s ……… Nowadays there are a lot of car-drivers in England who just hate…

  • Fallus symbol

    Someone said I was in my fallus-symbol, when he saw me waiting in my velomobile for the red traffic light. 😉

  • 23 seconds !
