  • 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…

  • retroreflection

    I bought a few meters retroreflection tape and used it to show my logo on the Quest. I got the best quality of this tape at a boat shop in Middelburg ( Boone ).  Now I am curious if there still will be guys saying ; “Sorry Mate, I Didn’t See You ” ……… The…

  • velovision issue 32

    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”.

  • photos and video “oliebollen”-tour

    I didn’t take my video-camera with me, so I took some short videos with the old Canon Powershot. Edited with Windows Movie Maker, because all my old editing-programs don’t seem to work on this Vista-notebook. Some photos ; I get the impression that a photo-camera is a standard component in a velomobile 😉 For the…

  • Ride for the roses

    Lance Amstrong started it all and now I am riding this event just because it is organised close to where I live. Normally I would go together with Zilt (a recumbent-group), but I decided to register via my employer, because they are sponsoring the ride. Today I received the oficial stuff and guess what …………

  • 10.000 kilometers

    Today I made a short trip with my velomobile to pass the 10.000 kilometer on my ODO ! I started commuting with my velomobile in the last week of October 2007, so I do about 1000 kilometers each month. see the velomobile-riders list at velomobile.nl

  • Cycle Vision 2008

    I made a short video of Cycle Vision which was being held last weekend. The results are shown here. I will dump the rest of all the material as a sort of camcorder-dump at google in parts, because it allows maximum only 10 minutes per video. But this dump will take some time….
