  • commuting

    Part of my commute alongside the Schelde. Yesterday the sky was painted orange …… maybe because our national football-team is starting in the European Championships ?

  • for dog’s sake …

    … the discussion is the same all over the civilized world … When there’s lots of wealth and peace among people, they start the discussion about dog’s poop ! Thanks Mike, for making the video !

  • Pyrénées

    We’re back alive from our vacation we spent travelling with our motorhome through the Pyrénées in Spain. For a slideshow you can click on the photo ; And like the tradition in this family wants, there is a short video ;

  • So you think how to control a bicycle …

    … I thought I knew too.  But after seeing the next video, I learned a lot more 😉 It took Jason Moore seven years to find out what techniques we’re using for a simple bike ride. Suddenly I realize why I like my three-wheeled velomobile so much 😉 Here is a video of his  doctoral…

  • “That is how a bicycle is made “

    I like everything about this film; the photography, the pronunciation, the scenario, the technique, the old machines, etc,etc.

  • Couchsurfing.org

    Sam & Laura surfed our couch. Want to know more; see couchsurfing.org .  It’s for the travellers of the future. For freedom and understanding in the world. For a sustainable earth, and a lot more of that kind of vague language. Cycling and couchsurfing are the keywords for this new generation !

  • Labor Day

    The Dutch don’t celebrate Labor Day (anymore). So I’ve done some simple things like checking our roof , cleaning the shed and doing some shopping … ….   and made some nice photos in our garden. one of the many frogs  

  • Levon Helm

    “… trying to find a place where I could lay my head …”     He found it on April 19th in New York; he was 71.  Too old to die young …..

  • Qatar

    The lady of the house has been to Qatar to visit her friend. An impression in photos is here.

  • cyclist in Moscow

    Tim wrote ; “This is why I hate driving in Moscow and love riding my bike”.    But this video made me realize that my idea of traffic in Russia needs an update…..   All the cars I see in this video, are modern-looking cars which could also be seen in Rome, Paris, London or…

  • go cycling, it’s Springtime !

  • My roots …

    … are in “de Achterhoek” , near a small village called Vorden. I went there just to catch some memories. Ofcourse every time I get the chance I visit the graveyard where lots of my forefathers are buried. because ; “A’j oe veurolders neet eert, bu’j oe name neet weerd” ( “If you don’t honour your…

  • Never seen something so stupid before ….

    … it looks like attempted murder to me.  It is situated in Gent St Lievenspoort. All cyclists have green, but the motorists are not aware of it because they don’t see the traffic light (which is only meant for the cyclists). The Cyclists’ Union is complaining, but without success and hopes to make things clear with…

  • Life …

    … is good when having a vacation!      Watching Gent-Wevelgem on the TV, watching our pond turning into a delivery room and watching my skin healing thanks to all the advice I got from you ……

  • I failed …

    … to reach Hoorn. Not because I was too tired, or wasn’t in good shape. I had troubles with my skin around my genitalia. It was soft and sweaty, so that the skin turned red and became very very painful. I used some lip-balsam (I always have it inside the Quest) but it worked only…
