new cleat set

My cleats were worn after 7 years of use. I use them every day and relatively do a lot of walking. The cleats make easy contact with the ground because the rubber sole of my Shimano shoes is not thick enough to prevent it.

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…

after 2800 kilometer

I replaced the HPV tyre of my left front wheel. I was despondent of finding all the small stones and removing them from the soft rubber-surface. The problem of buying other, more protective tyres is not where or how to buy; but………. which tyres ? I’m still searching on all the velomobile blogs for other…

sunrider velomobile starts production !

Sunrider has started their production-line. I think that it’s going to be a handy velomobile for use in crowded city-traffic, where manoeuvrability is more important than speed. See all details on their website………

oliebollen and appelflappen

“oliebollen”-tour

Now my ODO is 2611 kilometers since 25 October. I cycled 552 kilometers during the last 3 days due to my presence at the “oliebollentocht”. On my way to the Veluwe (about 220 km) I had two flat tyres and some trouble with the chain. I stayed two nights with family in Achterveld, about 20…

have some nice days

I’m used to the fact that both our parents died long ago. So we don’t have to drive for hundreds of kilometers to visit them during Christmas time. When the old vinyl records are on our turntable, playing all the ancient Christmas songs; I have a feeling they are visiting us now……….. Now I’ll have…

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.…
