  • a new cap

    I bought a new cap. I think it will be of good use when I’m cycling in my Quest. It is made of “goretex” , although you’re never sure when it says “made in China” too.   😉 Berghaus is well known, but I never saw a cap like this before. Usually caps are “one-size-fits-all”, but…

  • velovision issue 32

    A lot of interesting reading in the latest edition of Velovision …………………… For the Dutch ; see www.velovision.nl Peter Eland uses a new subtitle on the cover “The practical cycling magazine”. One of the news items (page 11) is about the “BakFeetz“. I am happy to see this Dutch word written in phonetic English and…

  • 40.000 km.

    A young German  guy visited us. He took his bicycle with him. Not the way as Germans usually do,  with their bicycles on the top of a large car,………. No, he did it by actually pedalling !   And not as usual, by crossing the German-Dutch boarder,……….. no he first cycled to China, through Australia and…

  • S.M.I.D.S.Y.

    I found out that I was the victim of a S.M.I.D.S.Y. In wikipedia : The acronym SMIDSY, short for “sorry mate, I didn’t see you”, is used by British and Australian motorcyclists and cyclists to describe collisions in which a car driver fails to perceive a two-wheel user (see motorcycle safety). It is estimated by…

  • 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…

  • Ride for the roses

    Lance Amstrong started it all and now I am riding this event just because it is organised close to where I live. Normally I would go together with Zilt (a recumbent-group), but I decided to register via my employer, because they are sponsoring the ride. Today I received the oficial stuff and guess what …………

Cycling and Coffee break ! “The City of Copenhagen has recently eased up on restrictions on street vending and, generally, outdoor business. In order to create more life on the streets it is now easier and cheaper…
