  • Two grumpy old men …..

    Today my colleague and I traveled together to our work  ….. a short video :

  • 06:30 AM …. traffic jam

    traffic jam on N57 at 06:30AM ! a former colleague once said that I would get used to it after 3 months …

  • I am traffic

    Most say  “there was a lot of traffic on the road” ….. instead of saying “I was part of a lot of traffic on the road”.

  • Ginger

    Ginger (Roeben’s dog) testing the car that Roeben bought for his commute.

  • a new job

    Yesterday was one of the worst days in my life. After a carreer of 32 years at the Thermphos- site (former Hoechst) in Vlissingen I left to start a new job as process technician at the Latex-site of Styron in Terneuzen. Probably my appearance didn’t show, but I felt sad …. very sad.  It doesn’t…

  • Vlissingen-Oost by night.

  • Directie

    A quiet Sunday, nobody was there and I couldn’t resist ……

  • “Zeeuws licht”

    Or,the typical light in the area where I live and work; Zeeland. It is the reason why many painters came to this land to get inspiration. I just take photos (mostly) on my commute …. a slide show opens when you click on the photo ;  

  • Snow

    A lot of snow fell yesterday in the evening. That is always a nice hobby-time for velonauts !   So I made a short impression on video of my commute… Unfortunately I had to climb out of my Quest a few times, to lift it over a few snow banks. During one of these exercises…

  • The day I lost my job …

    … I made this photo on my commute. I have to work till the end of December and all I can do is hoping that some company will start the production again. But on the same day I also read an article about the “Suffiency Economy”, wich inspired me. It’s a vision which includes Cradle-to-Cradle…

  • bankrupt

    My employer is declared bankrupt.  I’ll have to make a video of my commute while I still can, because the last one was 6 years ago.

  • 10103

    I didn’t pay attention and I simply passed the 10.000 kilometers without notice. One of the most exciting moments for a velonaut and I missed it !  So I’ve done 50.000 km in a Quest. 40.000 km in Quest 215 and 10.000 in Quest 552. I’m an experienced velonaut nowadays …..

  • every day is different

    On different days I made a short video on the same part of my commute. I think I’ll try to improve this idea …

  • commuting

    Part of my commute alongside the Schelde. Yesterday the sky was painted orange …… maybe because our national football-team is starting in the European Championships ?

  • review of the hood (race cap)

    Daniël asked me if I wanted to write a review of the hood (or race cap), which I use on my Quest. Well, because I think it’s a good idea and Wim Schermer consistently writes his blog only in Dutch, here it comes; I bought the hood that is sold by velomobielonderdelen.nl and I decided…
