  • bidon holder

    I bought this bidon holder at Bever Zwerfsport. It is suitable to hold the 1,5 liter bottles. Now I just have to find the best place to mount it on my bike. It’s called the “Minoura PET picker” (AB-1500) specially disigned for the 1 and 1,5 liter lemonade bottles. So I can use a cheap PET…

  • here comes the sun

    I worked in the nightshift and was commuting home in the early morning on my recumbent. The sunrise was beautifull and made clear that wintertime was ending. Days are getting longer from now on. During that hour it takes me to get home, the sky turns from dark to bright. I had my camera with…

  • RAAM (race across America)

    Some people asked me where to find the old promo-video for RAAM out of 2004. They wanted to see the awefull movie again ! Well you can find it here. And all the other info for RAAM is here.

  • HPV races in Velodrome in Alkmaar (Netherlands)

    The 1000 meters sprint and 40 minutes criterium in the Velodrome in Alkmaar (the Netherlands) where Hans Wessels showed he was in better shape than Ymte Sijbrandij ! You can find the results here .

  • Ice Bike Races

    This video is on youtube. I was amazed how many imagination there is for designing ice bikes ! There is no market for commercial products, so everybody is just creating some kind of ice bike and is having a lot of fun. Thank you Mary Arneson for making this video ! Mary explained the video…

  • commuting with a colleague

    It was warm and dry yesterday. So a lot of bicyclists were out on the cycle-paths. A colleague of me also went to our work on his bicycle. I planned to practise with my photocamera and wanted to know how the video- mode would work while cycling on my bent.  So here is the result 😉

  • VK 2

    I think that this movie gives a good expression of the feeling I get on my recumbent. Unfortunately I do not own a videocamera to make my own movies, but if I had one it would look the same. 

  • homologation

    I just got these homologations (200 and 300 km’s) by “slow-mail” yesterday. The guys from AUDAX expect you to do the brevet on your bicycle in the shortest possible time, but then it takes them almost 2 years to send the homologation ! I like the French, nobody gets them speedy exept when they’re on…

    I made this photo with my cameraphone and uploaded it to Flickr while commuting. No quality stuff, but it works !

  • only 2000 km.

    Shit ! Had this one on my recumbent for only 2000 km. Fortunately I’ve seen this at home, on the last day of 2006 and not during a ride to my work. Already have the spare one on the bike. Before using the new tyre, I unsharpened the edges with a sandpaper. Hope it will help.

  • reading Velovision

    I was inspired by this article in Velovision. I am using a camper for vacation for about 15 years now, but this kind of camper is what I feel attracted to.

  • commuting with my recumbent

    An old photo made with my camera. I am not used to take my camera with me all the time, so when I finally find out how to blog with my cameraphone, there will be more postings.
