  • And now for something completely different …

    … a trip from Vlissingen to Hoorn and back. I ordered a new  lexan-visor of my velomobile. Normally it would be sent to me in a parcel by UPS, but I decided to be my own “messenger”. It means 500 kilometers on one day in a velomobile … The weather will be nice tomorrow, so…

  • Velomobile TV

    This unmistakable USA-guy discovered recumbents and velomobiles and is very enthusiastic about it. In fact, he is so excited that he started a website/blog last December. Now he also added a TV-channel on YouTube. I hate don’t like the presentation , but hey ; we are all just amateurish on YouTube. I just hope the…

  • Eastermeeting

    Next weekend I’ll meet all the other recumbent riders at the “Paastreffen” (Eastermeeting). For an impression you can have a look at the next videos. Notice that the journey to and from the meeting is an important part of the weekend  for me  (230 km one-way)…. I’ll use this GPS-track ;

  • Summer is near !

    Would it be possible to do this with recumbents ? Seems like a lot of fun to me ….. Anyway, this video gives me the “summerfeeling” I had when I was a young guy. Thanks for the link Rob !

  • www.velomobiel.wordpress.com

    Velomobiel.nl has started a new blog ! I thank Wim G. who gave the first hint on the Dutch recumbent Google-group. I’m glad they decided to use wordpress.com . But maybe it’s a bit confusing that the word “velomobiel” is written in Dutch. I think most English-speaking cyclists will type the address with “velomobile”. I’m…

  • A ride through the country

    A rare moment ………… because we seldom ride together !  When we are both on our recumbents, I am always miles ahead. But last weekend we found out that when I’m on the Bullitt and Marjan on het Challenge Focus, we keep together all the way 😉 I used the “trimtool” and found another speedy…

  • busy all day

    While the Lady of the House was busy restoring lamp shades…………. I was busy with my bikes, because I recieved the aliminium box and honey board for the Bullitt. And I also decided to install the new Jag Wire cables for the drumbrakes in my Quest. I ordered the cables together with 15 spokes by…

  • cv 2010

    Hello good readers who just keep on reading this blog; I went to Sloten, near Amsterdam. Cycle Vision was organised at the Velodrome in Sloten. It was an excellent day to stay at the beach, not for racing in a velodrome. Because there were no races in the open air after noon, I decided to…
