  • 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…

  • Merry Christmas

    I’m planning to join the oliebollentocht on 28 December, so I hope all the snow will be gone within ten days …………. But for now it seems that we will have a white Christmas.  The cold and snow doesn’t stop Marjan using her bicycle for her daily commute. Although it takes a while to get…

  • Commute

    I took this photo on my commute home after the late-shift. It was cold, so I stayed in my velomobile.

  • 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…

  • Punctured tire repair

    This time of year it is freezing cold outside. I hate flat tires in this kind of weather, that’s why I use the Marathon Plus on my velomobile. But if your fingers are too cold to repair your punctured tire, than try to fix it with your feet. It is possible ! The evidence is…

  • balkenbrij

    I baked some balkenbrij today. It reminded me of days long ago, when I was a little boy. These days snacks are invented by international restaurants (like McDonalds) , but I think that the ingredients are about the same 😉  As cheap as possible ! balkenbrij, originally uploaded by wim harwig.

  • Achterhoek

    Last weekend we were in “de Achterhoek“, where I was born and bred. We visited my sister in Vorden. I saw some old family-stuff and made some pictures of it ……. For instance this little old Bible. As usual in our family tradition, there is always something memorable inside a book…….. Mostly old press cuttings…

  • connection strip

    David W. asked me how I connected the windshield to my Quest. I used Tenax fasteners first, but that didn’t work out well when I use the cockpit skirt. So now it’s connected with a simple thin sheet iron. I bend it in such a way that it also holds down the cockpit skirt, when…

  • Juffrouw Sijbels

    Located between a few schools was this little store owned by Miss Sijbels. Because of the many adolescent customers she had Treets, Smith chips, and all the typical Dutch candy’s like drop, chocolate, etc. in her assortment. What have you stolen from Miss Sijbels in the Seventy’s when she had her little candy store in…

  • 70

    It would be his 70th birtday …………… Ofcourse I like all his famous songs, but I think that the lyrics John wrote for “working class hero” are monumental ! And on internet I found a photo of John riding on his bicycle! In his biography is written; “As a kid, I had a dream –…
