  • accident

    I was drinking my coffee at home, when a friend called to know if I was involved in the accident …… Well, I don’t know anything about the accident because I was at home. And luckily I’m still alive and kicking  ! ———————————————————————– ( article in our local newspaper ) VLISSINGEN-OOST – Bij een bedrijfsongeval…

  • Ik zou wel naar huis willen !

    “I would like to go home again !”  That’s what Arie often said in a cynical way, when he entered the control-room. Me and my colleagues were very glad to have him in our shift, we liked and trusted him. He was a technician with a wide range of interests. He never complained about anything…

  • Harold

    A bold colleague in the control room. Photo made by mobile phone. He is one of the few cyclist who commute by bicycle all year round ! Rain, snow, storm, nothing stops him …. He likes to be known as “The Fastest Cyclist of Walcheren”. On the photo he is exhausted and trying to recover…

  • damaged quest

    A young guy wanted to park his car at the parking. He therefore had to cross the bicycle-path alongside the road. After he damaged my quest velomobile he said that he didn’t see me in my red, 2.8 meter long quest …….. The polyester coated fairring is very thin and vulnerable, but nevertheless it protected…

  • butter pie

    Marjan bought this butter pie for my colleguages, but I forgot to take them with me. So now we have something relish next to our coffee, the coming day’s ! butter pie, originally uploaded by wim harwig.

  • Among good colleagues

    Yesterday I had a dinner in a restaurant with some of my colleagues. Preparing our own food on a BBQ. I couldn’t catch the next guy on a photo, so I had to make a short video ………..

  • New video of LYN !!!!

    Tish send me this link of their newest video. It was made during a live performance on 20 March 2008. “The road that lies ahead”. I think that it is a very long road that lies ahead …….. But all great travellers started with just one “first step”.

  • I am still alive

    I get a medical check-up every year now, because I am a sort of volunteer to use a gas mask (like the fire department uses in case of heavy smoke) at my work in case of unforeseen circumstance. The last medical test was a year ago. The test showed that my VO2max has risen from…

  • Company magazine

    The magazine is called “Insight”, subtitled ; “The social community of Thermphos and her people”. In this edition there was an article that introduced the concept “Velomobile”. A few weeks earlier I had a short interview, during which I overhanded the well known velomobile- flyer’s. The article shows that the editor used the flyer-info largely.…

  • At work

    It’s not the most photogenic place of the factory-site where this photo-session took place, but what the heck…….my colleague isn’t a professional photographer. My new velomobile attracts attention, so lots of photos are being made and questions asked…………….. I mostly refer to this blog, but there isn’t much to see of my velomobile yet. So…

  • Sparta Ithaka

    Marjan made a decision…….She bought a Sparta Ithaka . She used the “National Bicycle Plan“. With the national bicycle plan you can buy via your employer a complete bicycle with insurance and by doing so, have tax advantage. You pay back with gross salary (or holiday pay, overtime etc.) to your employer. Because you pay…

  • interview

    This morning I was interviewed by the “communication officer” of my employer. It was for a larger article in our company info magazine. The article is about employees who commute by bicycle. A few photos with my Quest were taken and I gave her a print-out of a few flyer’s that I found on the…

  • LYN

    A colleague is playing lead-guitar in a band called LYN. At work we compare him with Neil, the long haired hippie from “the young ones”, who might as well be a Leonard Cohen record. But when he is on stage, he expresses himself as a heavy headbanger ! some videos to get an impression of…

  • my commute

    I took my photo-camera and made some video’s during my commute. It is 25 kilometers (one-way) and the weather was bright sunny .

  • early retirement

    A colleague got his early retirement. I made this photo with my cameraphone because I forgot my camera. His speech was very emotional and will be remembered for a long time by those present.
