Snow in Vlissingen
It’s snowing in Vlissingen. There has been sprinkled a lot of salt on the roads. Without those actions it would be impossible for cardrivers to keep driving, but the salt is ruining the bike-stuff, like the chain and the derailleur.

Koga Miyata made only 50 bicycles of the model they named “the Spyker” (Koga Aeroblade). Handmade and because of all the rarity very expensive (12.500 euro). The sultan of Brunei has one and also the King of Jordan. How does it look ? You can find a video (spoken in Dutch) here .

an inconvenient truth
I didn’t see the movie “An inconvenient thuth” in the cinema, but now you can see it on google video. It certainly is an inconvenient truth, but remember; Al Gore is an American too ! I think it will give a lot of trouble in my own neighbourhood when sea-level rises. My house is build…

good old “Pink Floyd”.
I found this video on you tube. I am pleased to see that people take the time to share their love for music on the internet. It takes about 30 minutes and you’ll go back to the sixties. It was the last occasion where Syd played on his guitar. So you can hear the old Pink…

It was dinnertime, it was snowing and there was a terrible traffic congestion in the neighbourhood of Utrecht. So we decided to have a stop at the first restaurant alongside the highway. It turned out to be “Oud-Leusden”. .
