  • light emitting system for creating your own bikelane in the dark.

    Take a look here and read all about the idea to create your own kind of “bicycle lane” by using a LED system. Thanks to guys like Byron Loibl our bikes get more and more safer and convenient for use at night. Maybe it is possible to adjust the light and change it in some kind…

  • Cycle Vision 100 km. race

    I made a video (10 minutes) during the 100 kilometer race at Cycle Vision. Cycle Vision was in Sloten (near Amsterdam) and the races were held inside the velodrome and on the outside track.

  • mudguard

    When I am on my recumbent, this 20 inch wheel is right between my legs. In fact just in front of my chimes 😉 So when the surface of the road is wet, the front tyre swings a lot of fine moisture just in front of me. So all the road-surface-stuff (from plain water to soaked horse-shit), covers…

  • new and old chainrings

  • M5 ligfietsen

    Luckily I live nearby the famous recumbent-shop owned by Bram Moens. He designs, builds and sells his M5-recumbents at his shop in Middelburg.  

  • used chainring

    The last 500 kilometers every now and than my chain whipped of the front chain-ring. A closer look at the teeth on that chain-ring learned that only renewing the chain wouldn’t be sufficient ; I also had to buy a new chain-ring.

  • Video

He planned a route of about 90 kilometers long. After the ride Simon stood us a Heineken in Heinekenszand 😉 When I got…
