  • last commute Thermphos-Vlissingen

    Made a video of this last commute from my job at the Thermphos-site to my home in Vlissingen. Next week I’ll start working for  my next employer ….  

  • EPZ

  • not broken …

     The last 3 days I had trouble with my shifter. I had a feeling that the chain wasn’t derailing as it should. Yesterday (on my way to work) it was almost impossible to pedal because of constant derailing in the back of my Quest. The problem with velomobiles is that you simply can’t see what…

  • renewing a Jagwire cable.

    The brake didn’t work. I found out that the liner of the right cable was demolished by the universal joint. So I asked velomobiel.nl to send me a new one ….. and as always I received it the next day (that’s what I call good service !). It’s important to use some tie-wraps to prevent the…

  • best couple …

    I think this red couple  is the best  for everyday use and all purposes.

  • Used Marathon Plus …

    … can be used for lots of applications. Harry used it for a modification on his shoes. Today I used it to replace the worn out rubber ring on the left suspension. So don’t waste your old Marathon Plus tyres, but keep them spare for all kind of tips&tricks you’re not aware of now. You…

  • cycling hidden …

    … has it advantages.  Even though I realize that my yellow logo is on the velomobile, I feel anonymous when I’m inside my Quest. I realized this advantage during my commutes after my dearest dog died. I cried like a little boy while cycling along the dykes of Walcheren, passing lots of tourists and other cyclists.…
