  • parachute for Quest ?

    Can anyone help me to find this parachute ? The Nike-store says they are out of stock 😦 So maybe it’s better to make a few myself …… It is mentioned in the blog of Coachlevi . I think this parachute is better centered behind my quest then the home-made ones you can see in…

  • my second skins

    During the last trip I made to the Easter meeting, I used Skins. Just to see how it would work out, I kept them wearing day and night from Friday till Monday evening. I was sweating like a horse during the 230 km. bicycle ride on Friday and of coarse the same situation on Monday…

  • Eastermeeting 2008

    During Easter I went to the “Harskamperdennen”, a camping at the Veluwe where a lot of other recumbent cyclists were together for three nights. This year it was freezing cold and the weatherforecast said there would be snow-showers…….. We were lucky, because at the times we planned a visit to the museum on Saturday and…

  • easter meeting (paastreffen)

    What is wrong with an old man who is cycling 200 kilometers in the rain to a meeting of recumbent-riders, sleeping in a tent at freezing temperatures for 3 nights and then cycling the same 200 km’s back home , while at the same time he has a comfortable camper available ????? He likes cycling…

  • skins

    I bought some clothes of Skins. I used an internet-shop, because there are no retailers in the Netherlands. So Sportbedarf was the nearest deliverer possible. Now I am testing the stuff and I think at first sight, it is OK . Next week I will cycle to the Easter-Meeting organised by recumbentriders for recumbentriders. So…

  • Skins

    I don’t know what to think about this product………  Their website is fantastic, high quality photos and a fine presentation of the products. Even the text above the underpants shows a good sense of humor. It’s made in Australia, so must be OK ? But what about their claims ? Is there anyone who has…

  • fabulous people

    We live in a world of economics. Everything is expressed in money. Even the time I watch television is of some worth to the advertising company’s. The medical health care, the lack of space on high ways during peak-hour, the seconds that it takes to prepare a McDonalds-menu, here in the Netherlands there even exists…

  • new Vredestein HPV 40-406 tyres

    I examined the tyres of my Quest today. There was a sort of wave in the right front tyre; maybe one of the two woven layers was torn ? This tyre had rolled 4200 kilometers and it seems that that is the distance it will serve my velomobile reliable. I have checked the pressure weekly…

  • tyre trouble

    I have “Vredestijn HPV“- tyres on my Velomobile. They are comfortable, but pick up lots of small sharp stones. I don’t blame the tyres for it, but I do think that the professionals who decide to “protect” the cycle path with these stoney needles needs to be discharged ! Nice flat silky asphalt roads will…
