  • No “oliebollentocht” for me

    I planned to join the “oliebollentocht” this year. Had to work a few night-shifts till 27 december and thought that I would be able to make the trip to Tilburg, visit family in Eindhoven after the tour and return home the next day. But it turned out  that my body had other plans.  After the…

  • what’s wrong with those boys ?

    I know; most young boys want to act tough, they like to have the looks of the Ramones, or James Dean. But it seems like the boys on this photo don’t realize that the girl is bare naked !   In fact, they use her as if she is a bicycle rack !!!!  And their faces…

  • Too old ?

  • I’m an old man now ….

    My daughter had her birthday. She’s 23 years young now. Still a long life to live ………. Many problems to solve…… A lot of adventures to survive….. Makes me feel I’m an old man now. It was 30 years ago that I hummed Neil Young’s “Old Man” day after day. Now it’s her time to…

  • A ride through the country

    A rare moment ………… because we seldom ride together !  When we are both on our recumbents, I am always miles ahead. But last weekend we found out that when I’m on the Bullitt and Marjan on het Challenge Focus, we keep together all the way 😉 I used the “trimtool” and found another speedy…

  • very small dick

    I was cycling in my Quest in the neighbourhood of Arnemuiden on a cycling path next of the main road, when I saw a large 4WD-car in the rear view mirror slowing down. When he was driving next to me, he steered his right wheels through a muddy pool between the main road and the…

  • bullitt billboard

    I bought some yellow letters today to print on the Bullitt-billboard. Conversions has some nice stuff in their shop. Because I am not sponsored by any company, I printed my nickname on the billboard. I took my dog to the beach, to let him out. Because it was the third time, he knew what I…

  • Theories of Bicycle Pornography

    1980s b/w interview with Dr Paul Berry. Celebrate the beauty and sexuality of bicycles. Bicycles are objects of human desire. Objectification of bicycles. Humans make bikes; human make babies too. Bicycles are brought into life as adults. Don’t use the term ‘riding’ or ‘rider’. ‘Ride or ‘riding’ is a dominant relationship term. Use ‘cyclist’ instead.…

  • cv 2010

    Hello good readers who just keep on reading this blog; I went to Sloten, near Amsterdam. Cycle Vision was organised at the Velodrome in Sloten. It was an excellent day to stay at the beach, not for racing in a velodrome. Because there were no races in the open air after noon, I decided to…

  • clearing our shed

    Linseed oil is the best for preserving old wooden toolboxes, and the smell reminds me of the times I was a little boy and saw my father doing the same 😉
