    This is something I hope to experience too, when I have the cap on my Quest….

  • Cap for my Quest.

    I decided to order a cap for my velomobile at a webshop ; velomobielonderdelen (“velomobile-parts” in English). The famous Wim Schermer is starting the production of these caps soon. He thinks the production will be about three per week. It’s not cheap, but I’m not able to make them better and cheaper myself. Wim (and…

  • First Ukrainean Recumbent Meeting

    I liked watching this video ……….

  • 33920

    ODO = 33920 kilometer. So the average is 10.000 km per year with my velomobile since October 2007. According to Fietsen Scoort I did 8750 kilometers in 2010. That means that I do most kilometers during my commute and just minor recreational distances. For my shopping-rides I’m using the Bullitt and it turned out to…

  • It’s a pity

    It’s a pity I could’t join the gang. The video that Theo Mol took during the tour shows how an “oliebollentocht” is supposed to be ….. Lots of snow, cold wind, frozen rivers and velomobiles all around (and a lot of digital cameras) ! In the velomobile-scene it’s quite normal that photos and videos are…

  • busy times

    The local newspaper made an impression of all the busy people who were shopping at the local supermarket. We were one of their victims …… In the afternoon I made an impression of the road conditions during my commute ….. Road conditions in Zeeland are okay, but there has been a lot of snow in…

  • Commute

    I took this photo on my commute home after the late-shift. It was cold, so I stayed in my velomobile.

  • GPS-route to OBT

    I’m planning a route to the “oliebollentocht”, it will be 150 km one-way. The route will follow the LF13. All in all it will be roughly 370 km on one day. Hmm, maybe too much for me. Have to find out if there is some other way ….. I could go for speed and straight…

  • oliebollentocht 2010

    28 December I’ll be at the “oliebollentocht”! This year around Tilburg. In 2009 the velomobile-ride was organised in Utrecht. The video gives an impression.

  • connection strip

    David W. asked me how I connected the windshield to my Quest. I used Tenax fasteners first, but that didn’t work out well when I use the cockpit skirt. So now it’s connected with a simple thin sheet iron. I bend it in such a way that it also holds down the cockpit skirt, when…

  • marathon plus after 10.000 km.

    I bought 2 new tyres, so I’m ready for winter !

  • 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…

  • very small dick

    I was cycling in my Quest in the neighbourhood of Arnemuiden on a cycling path next of the main road, when I saw a large 4WD-car in the rear view mirror slowing down. When he was driving next to me, he steered his right wheels through a muddy pool between the main road and the…
