  • So you think how to control a bicycle …

    … I thought I knew too.  But after seeing the next video, I learned a lot more 😉 It took Jason Moore seven years to find out what techniques we’re using for a simple bike ride. Suddenly I realize why I like my three-wheeled velomobile so much 😉 Here is a video of his  doctoral…

  • “That is how a bicycle is made “

    I like everything about this film; the photography, the pronunciation, the scenario, the technique, the old machines, etc,etc.

  • cyclist in Moscow

    Tim wrote ; “This is why I hate driving in Moscow and love riding my bike”.    But this video made me realize that my idea of traffic in Russia needs an update…..   All the cars I see in this video, are modern-looking cars which could also be seen in Rome, Paris, London or…

  • go cycling, it’s Springtime !

  • Never seen something so stupid before ….

    … it looks like attempted murder to me.  It is situated in Gent St Lievenspoort. All cyclists have green, but the motorists are not aware of it because they don’t see the traffic light (which is only meant for the cyclists). The Cyclists’ Union is complaining, but without success and hopes to make things clear with…

  • I failed …

    … to reach Hoorn. Not because I was too tired, or wasn’t in good shape. I had troubles with my skin around my genitalia. It was soft and sweaty, so that the skin turned red and became very very painful. I used some lip-balsam (I always have it inside the Quest) but it worked only…

  • And now for something completely different …

    … a trip from Vlissingen to Hoorn and back. I ordered a new  lexan-visor of my velomobile. Normally it would be sent to me in a parcel by UPS, but I decided to be my own “messenger”. It means 500 kilometers on one day in a velomobile … The weather will be nice tomorrow, so…

  • omloop het volk …

    … start of the season !

  • Chris and his skills …

    Always nice to follow other blogs. Chris Luxembourg is still busy to realize his amazing dreams. The first is an old video he made a few years back … But this winter he made the next one …  He writes; “The finished vehicle I called Lowracer Hybrid Speedbike.  By law it’s a like an electric bike,…

  • Quest 552

    Quest 552 had its maidentrip from Dronten to Vlissingen.  265 kilometers in 10 hours. It was fun to ride a new Quest without all the noises and sounds I’m used to hear in Quest 215. I missed my neckroll, but all the other new changes made it a great joy to ride ! http://www.velomobiel.nl Underneath…
