  • “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…

  • A velosopher is coming to Vlissingen!

    Daniel N. Lang has cycled about 39.000 kilometers and is now on his way to Vlissingen. He wants to pass 40.000 kilometers before he arrives at home in Germany.

  • 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…
