  • “Coasting”

    Thanks to ” recumbent cyclist ” , I read about the new strategy of the Shimano- company. Shimano is going to invest lots and lots of money to get all car-driving Rednecks on a bike. Therefore they need a bike which can be used without technical knowledge. So a “new” type of bicycle is going to be promoted and…

  • Xtra cycle

    While having a flu, I stayed in my bed  for a good sweat and a lot of coughing. Between those bed-scenes, I read some other blogs on the Internet. I found one which is called : bikes? rubbish!

  • commuting with a colleague

    It was warm and dry yesterday. So a lot of bicyclists were out on the cycle-paths. A colleague of me also went to our work on his bicycle. I planned to practise with my photocamera and wanted to know how the video- mode would work while cycling on my bent.  So here is the result 😉

    I made this photo with my cameraphone and uploaded it to Flickr while commuting. No quality stuff, but it works !

  • commuting with my recumbent

    An old photo made with my camera. I am not used to take my camera with me all the time, so when I finally find out how to blog with my cameraphone, there will be more postings.
