    new saddle

    I needed a new saddle for my Bullitt. The old one was made of plastic and because of the cracks in the deck I often got a wet butt from the rainwater that remained in the plastic foam for days on end. On the old Batavus I still have an old “Lepper” saddle that suits me well. I know a leather…

    Today is World Bicycle Day !   #June3WorldBicycleDay    

  • Bullitt-Workmate

  • The Cyclist Philosopher

    Beautiful Vimeo-video !

  • one bike, two appearances

    Usually I use the open “bak”  (container) ….   But when I visit the busy city center, I use the aluminum box.

  • photos

    Why do I often forget to make photos of my velomobile? Is it because I’m always in my velomobile when I make photos of a beautiful coloured sky or cloud formation? Anyway; this is where I park my velomobile at work ….   Our dog is almost 8 months old now and becoming a heavy-weight…

  • A ride in the Bullitt …

    … to the citycenter. Hitch is 13 weeks old, so it’s time to socialize in the city. Unfortunately there were only a few tourists (financial crisis, cold weather ?). It seems that Hitch is getting used to a ride with the Bullitt 😉 

  • battery explodes …

    http://www.abendblatt.de/hamburg/eimsbuettel/article115969187/Akku-explodiert-Elektrofahrrad-geht-in-Flammen-auf.html A warning is useless if there’s no solution. I can just hope there will soon be an idea to prevent this danger. There is a battery in my velomobile too !

  • best couple …

    I think this red couple  is the best  for everyday use and all purposes.

  • a new cycling blog …

    … for keeping stuff organized. All about my cycling will be mentioned at wimharwigcycling .  So if you’re only interested in cycling stuff …. change you’re settings 😉 

  • Never travel without duct tape

    Rob had the same experience as I had with the jacket of my bicycle chain lock. But I put a quote of Rob in practice : never travel without Duct tape ! So now the paint on my Bullitt is protected by the Duct tape around the padlock and chain.  

  • it’s wintertime …

    … and unfortunately the cables of brakes and hubgear on my Bullitt were frozen. So I decided to defrost them inside our livingroom. Luckily my wife didn’t protest  😉 Tomorrow I’ll try to spray some thin oil inside the cables to get it damp-resistant.

  • interesting … DIY-cargo bike

    OpenBikeWorks is developing a nice cargo-bike.  It got my attention, because their aim is to build the bike without any welding needed !    Every average sucker (as I am) can drill holes and play with bolts and nuts, just no welding please because that requires craftsmanship gained in many years.    I expect that “Do-It-Yourself” will…
