    Today I made a short trip with my velomobile to pass the 10.000 kilometer on my ODO ! I started commuting with my velomobile in the last week of October 2007, so I do about 1000 kilometers each month. see the velomobile-riders list at velomobile.nl

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.…

  • 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…

  • Dave Zabriski out of the Giro Italia !

    I like Zabriski just for the fact he wears a mustache ! He fell during the second day in the Giro and had to be treated in a hospital. Hope he gets over it before the TdF starts …….
