  • paastreffen (eastermeeting) 2009

    3 days camping with recumbent cyclists on the Veluwe ! There was a campfire. Shutter-speed was 13 seconds, so you can’t recognize anyone 😉 A crash of recumbents. We had to make a group-photo, and this was the result. You can recognize us by our recumbents 😉

  • Death rides on my left ……

    lovemastertx made a lot of nice videos on YouTube as being a bicycle-commuter. The title of the next video sounds like it was written by a famous Hollywood-producer. “Death rides on my left”, it is a sentence that every cyclist should have in mind when cycling out there in the open ………….

  • 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…

    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”.

To get an impression there’s a video of the last “oliebollen”-tour that was organised in…

  • 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…

  • A velosopher is coming to Vlissingen!

    Daniel N. Lang has cycled about 39.000 kilometers and is now on his way to Vlissingen. He wants to pass 40.000 kilometers before he arrives at home in Germany. You can read and see all his adventures on his blog, see: http://www.bikelust.de/travelogue/ He likes to see my quest, but just this moment mine is for…

  • 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…

  • Do the test

    Ha ! Take a look at the next video ……… For the first time I saw what happens around me when I am in my Quest velomobile, travelling comfortable with speeds like 25 miles per hour.
