en vanaf januari 2024 zal ik in de Nederlandse taal schrijven !

  • 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…

  • We see more than we remember and remember more than we saw……..

    Most newspapers are writing articles about the latest Led Zeppelin concert. In this video you can see the lack of interest among the French audience , when seeing Led Zeppelin in real live ! Indeed, we think we remember a lot more of the year 1969 than we saw in reality ……………. What we can’t…

  • Head rest

    I made a headrest which I can use when I’m riding in my Quest. First I made some different types, but this one is the best for me. For this last model I was inspired by the head rests you see on the newest low-racers made by Mike Burrows. The form is made from thin…

  • 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…

  • wind, rain, hail, mud, and two flat tyres…………

    The past 6 days I have had it all. Wind, rain, hail, mud and two flat tyres. I didn’t mind as long as I could stay in my Velomobile. Even the wind at 8 Bft (according to windGURU ) didn’t give any trouble, although I had to concentrate on the steering during crosswinds on the…

  • Big at the front !

    Recumbent riders are stubborn, self-opinionated cyclists. They often do their own thing and don’t give sh.t what others think about it. In this video there is such a guy who returns to the design of the ancient high-bi and shows that he made a practical easy-to-use recumbent out of it.
