  • M5 ligfietsen

    Luckily I live nearby the famous recumbent-shop owned by Bram Moens. He designs, builds and sells his M5-recumbents at his shop in Middelburg.  

  • used chainring

    The last 500 kilometers every now and than my chain whipped of the front chain-ring. A closer look at the teeth on that chain-ring learned that only renewing the chain wouldn’t be sufficient ; I also had to buy a new chain-ring.

  • Video

    Saturday March 31- 2007 we had a ride on our bicycles around the “Oosterschelde” in the Netherlands. It was a bright sunny and windy day. We met at Simon’s house in Heinkenszand. He planned a route of about 90 kilometers long. After the ride Simon stood us a Heineken in Heinekenszand 😉 When I got…

  • a ride in nice sunny weather

    Today a colleague a mine organised a ride around the Oosterschelde. I made a simple video during most of the day. Just have to add some music, upload it somewhere and then I can show it on this blog. Maybe tomorrow !  a ride in nice sunny weather, originally uploaded by wim harwig.

  • cart

    One of my neighbours is using this cart to take their dog outside town. The dog can step in and out on her own, when the bicycle is standing still. When traveling, she can sit and lend against one of the sides. Because the cart is just small enough for the dog to stand, she…

  • How not to get hit by cars !

    I saw this internet site a long time ago. Despite the fact that I live in the Netherlands, where there are lots and lots of bicycle paths, I think that the info on this site can’t be read too much ! Therefore I added it to my blogroll. This is a must read site too !

  • Lots and lots of videos with recumbents !

    YouTube has an area where members can join “Groups” (it’s free) to share videos with other group members . There is also a recumbent group ! If you have videos made while riding your recumbent, please upload them to YouTube and share them inside this group. If you just like to have a view, this…

  • bidon holder

    I bought this bidon holder at Bever Zwerfsport. It is suitable to hold the 1,5 liter bottles. Now I just have to find the best place to mount it on my bike. It’s called the “Minoura PET picker” (AB-1500) specially disigned for the 1 and 1,5 liter lemonade bottles. So I can use a cheap PET…

  • cycle sideways ?

    There is always a guy in some shed who tries to invent the wheel again and from that startingpoint also creates a whole new bicycle ! I think it is just nice to see this bicycle and trying to find out how it works. See for yourself on the BBC news  on this link ! Don’t say…

  • here comes the sun

    I worked in the nightshift and was commuting home in the early morning on my recumbent. The sunrise was beautifull and made clear that wintertime was ending. Days are getting longer from now on. During that hour it takes me to get home, the sky turns from dark to bright. I had my camera with…

  • RAAM (race across America)

    Some people asked me where to find the old promo-video for RAAM out of 2004. They wanted to see the awefull movie again ! Well you can find it here. And all the other info for RAAM is here.

  • alleycat race NYC 2007 is coming soon !

    The 17-th of Februari 2007 the “monster track” race is organised in New York City again ! I can’t wait to see the photos and videos on the internet. Always admire the stupid bravery of the bike messengers ! I wonder why these alleycat-races are unknown in Amsterdam; or am I wrong ? I ‘d…

  • Snow in Vlissingen

    It’s snowing in Vlissingen. There has been sprinkled a lot of salt on the roads. Without those actions it would be impossible for cardrivers to keep driving, but the salt is ruining the bike-stuff, like the chain and the derailleur. Not to mention what salt does to the aluminium wheels. So I was glad (and…
