  • retroreflection

    I bought a few meters retroreflection tape and used it to show my logo on the Quest. I got the best quality of this tape at a boat shop in Middelburg ( Boone ).  Now I am curious if there still will be guys saying ; “Sorry Mate, I Didn’t See You ” ……… The…

  • “oliebollentocht”

    Saturday I’ll go to Dronten, to velomobiel.nl ; because my Quest is repaired ! I’m curious to see the result. On Sunday I will join the first part of the “oliebollen”-tour. 100 velomobiles will make a tour around Almere ! To get an impression there’s a video of the last “oliebollen”-tour that was organised in…

  • 40.000 km.

    A young German  guy visited us. He took his bicycle with him. Not the way as Germans usually do,  with their bicycles on the top of a large car,………. No, he did it by actually pedalling !   And not as usual, by crossing the German-Dutch boarder,……….. no he first cycled to China, through Australia and…

  • Ride for the Roses

    Yesterday I went to Goes, from where the Ride for the Roses was organised. 14,000 riders were joining this ride, and about 9000 of them did 100 kilometers. There were just 2 velomobiles. Pieter used his Alleweder A3 V24 and I was there with my Quest. Some guys do a pre-ride ; this year they…

  • Cycle Vision 2008

    I made a short video of Cycle Vision which was being held last weekend. The results are shown here. I will dump the rest of all the material as a sort of camcorder-dump at google in parts, because it allows maximum only 10 minutes per video. But this dump will take some time….

  • Welpie

    It’s an advertising gadget that a well known Dutch company (Albert Heijn ) uses during the European Soccer Championship. see their advertisement-clip here. With a little imagination you’re suppose to recognize the “Dutch Lion”. As long as the Dutch soccer-eleven is in the race, I will have it attached on my velomobile ……..

  • I had to remove the rear wheel

    I had to remove the rear wheel of my quest, because I had to fix a hole in the wheel-chest. The hole was there because I had done too much stuff inside the quest, therefore the wheelchest was pushing against the bolt of the axle. The soft synthetic material wears out immediately and I hope…

    Hayco renamed his Quest into Kwets and is able to do some acrobatic tricks with his velomobile ……….
