  • new Shimano SH-SD 65

    I had to buy a new pair, because the thread in the sole was too rusty to replace cleats in a proper way. I was happy that after using the sandals for 48.000 kilometers in my velomobile, I found out that Shimano didn’t change the model (yet). Never change a winning model ! SH-SD 65…

  • review of the hood (race cap)

    Daniël asked me if I wanted to write a review of the hood (or race cap), which I use on my Quest. Well, because I think it’s a good idea and Wim Schermer consistently writes his blog only in Dutch, here it comes; I bought the hood that is sold by velomobielonderdelen.nl and I decided…

    The Dutch don’t celebrate Labor Day (anymore). So I’ve done some simple things like checking our roof , cleaning the shed and doing some shopping … ….   and made some nice photos in our garden. one of the many frogs
