  • new record bike ?

    Barbara Buatois is trying a new bike, the l’Altair, which she will be using for a new speed record on 12 Juli. Francesco Russo tried the same in his machine last summer on the same track, the CERAM speedway about 40 kilometers near Paris in France.

  • Good old cycling times.

    When I first saw these videos, I had to laugh ! They show the British bicycle culture as it was way back in 1955. If you’re too old to die young, then you’ll go back in memory when seeing these two vid’s ……… Nowadays there are a lot of car-drivers in England who just hate…

  • Dave Zabriski out of the Giro Italia !

    I like Zabriski just for the fact he wears a mustache ! He fell during the second day in the Giro and had to be treated in a hospital. Hope he gets over it before the TdF starts …….

  • $4 per gallon

    Gasoline in the USA is cheap compared to European prices, but it rises!

  • my second skins

    During the last trip I made to the Easter meeting, I used Skins. Just to see how it would work out, I kept them wearing day and night from Friday till Monday evening. I was sweating like a horse during the 230 km. bicycle ride on Friday and of coarse the same situation on Monday…

  • Eastermeeting 2008

    During Easter I went to the “Harskamperdennen”, a camping at the Veluwe where a lot of other recumbent cyclists were together for three nights. This year it was freezing cold and the weatherforecast said there would be snow-showers…….. We were lucky, because at the times we planned a visit to the museum on Saturday and…

  • easter meeting (paastreffen)

    What is wrong with an old man who is cycling 200 kilometers in the rain to a meeting of recumbent-riders, sleeping in a tent at freezing temperatures for 3 nights and then cycling the same 200 km’s back home , while at the same time he has a comfortable camper available ????? He likes cycling…

  • do the test

    Please do the test here and find out if your able to take part in the daily traffic jam, without hitting any bicyclists. Yesterday I was (again) in a situation I felt like “a moonwalking bear” ; the car driver looked me straight into my eyes but totally denied my presence at the bicycle path…

  • home-made bottle opener

    Make your own bottle opener according to this wonderful article of Blue Collar Mountain Biking !

  • Skins

    I don’t know what to think about this product………  Their website is fantastic, high quality photos and a fine presentation of the products. Even the text above the underpants shows a good sense of humor. It’s made in Australia, so must be OK ? But what about their claims ? Is there anyone who has…

  • made in Normandie
