    Every now and then there is someone who wants to show the difference. And the idea is so simple, that it’s being copied easily. I wonder how many photos were taken with this setup … The first one was taken in the Netherlands, (I think in Amersfoort) for the ENWB. A here is a follow-up…

    …  come and go. This time Eva and her friend stayed the night in our guest room. They flew from Spain to Belgium, bought on Sunday two cheap (scrapyard) bicycles from a Turkish merchant guy and started to tour through Belgium and the Netherlands. Two Spanish girls looking for adventure … The weather is like…

  • new Shimano SH-SD 65

    I had to buy a new pair, because the thread in the sole was too rusty to replace cleats in a proper way. I was happy that after using the sandals for 48.000 kilometers in my velomobile, I found out that Shimano didn’t change the model (yet). Never change a winning model ! SH-SD 65…

  • So you think how to control a bicycle …

    … I thought I knew too.  But after seeing the next video, I learned a lot more 😉 It took Jason Moore seven years to find out what techniques we’re using for a simple bike ride. Suddenly I realize why I like my three-wheeled velomobile so much 😉 Here is a video of his  doctoral…

  • “That is how a bicycle is made “

    I like everything about this film; the photography, the pronunciation, the scenario, the technique, the old machines, etc,etc.

  • cyclist in Moscow

    Tim wrote ; “This is why I hate driving in Moscow and love riding my bike”.    But this video made me realize that my idea of traffic in Russia needs an update…..   All the cars I see in this video, are modern-looking cars which could also be seen in Rome, Paris, London or…

  • Never seen something so stupid before ….

    … it looks like attempted murder to me.  It is situated in Gent St Lievenspoort. All cyclists have green, but the motorists are not aware of it because they don’t see the traffic light (which is only meant for the cyclists). The Cyclists’ Union is complaining, but without success and hopes to make things clear with…

  • I like to smoke …

    …. while I’m cycling in my velomobile. People don’t understand; cycling and smoking doesn’t seem appropriate. This old advertisement shows otherwise 😉 I’m not the only one …. see here for a short slideshow.
