  • Cap for my Quest.

    I decided to order a cap for my velomobile at a webshop ; velomobielonderdelen (“velomobile-parts” in English). The famous Wim Schermer is starting the production of these caps soon. He thinks the production will be about three per week. It’s not cheap, but I’m not able to make them better and cheaper myself. Wim (and…

  • 33920

    ODO = 33920 kilometer. So the average is 10.000 km per year with my velomobile since October 2007. According to Fietsen Scoort I did 8750 kilometers in 2010. That means that I do most kilometers during my commute and just minor recreational distances. For my shopping-rides I’m using the Bullitt and it turned out to…

  • busy times

    The local newspaper made an impression of all the busy people who were shopping at the local supermarket. We were one of their victims …… In the afternoon I made an impression of the road conditions during my commute ….. Road conditions in Zeeland are okay, but there has been a lot of snow in…

    I took this photo on my commute home after the late-shift. It was cold, so I stayed in my velomobile.

  • A momentous moment in cycling history

    the last ever monthly issue of citycycling has just gone online… 😦

  • weight ?

    My velomobile had trouble with winter-obesity. Because temperatures are rising, I took all the winter-stuff out. 2 pair of gloves, caps, sweaters, etcetera. Now it’s about 3 kilo’s lighter and what I like even more ……. I have much more freedom of movement for my elbows !

    I made some photos during my commute. The first one on my way to the nightshift at 22.30 hours, with a full moon ……. The second one on my way home the next morning at 08.30 h.

    A film made by Ed van der Elsken in the sixties, when I was too young to die old.

  • The solution is not the problem !

    Now there’s no problem anymore with the drive-train in my velomobile. I ordered a new chain, cassette, and freewheel and Ymte did as usual; it was here two days later! I renewed all the things as soon as the weather allowed me to. And since then I had no problems at all. So when I…

  • Stupid

    I’ve been stupid ! Two weeks ago I found out that the 11 and 12 teeth sprockets of my cassette needed to be renewed. But I was not able to find any bike shop where they just had the small sprockets with 11 and 12 teeth. There was only a small shop who had a complete cassette…

  • What clothes do I need ?

    “What clothes do I need for cycling in the snow ? “, she asked ; I didn’t answer but just took my camera and waited for the result …………

  • Just in time …

    I changed a few wheels on my sprocket today, and while doing that ……….. I discovered that the inner cable was still working with only ONE tread !!!!! So, just in time ……  pfew !
