Tja, ging het net lekker, heb ik hem toch in de prak gereden.☹Gelukkig ben ik zelf nog heel. Alleen een zere vinger. Ik zou hem ook zelf kunnen fixen, maar hij is best wel kaduuk, en ik zou eigenlijk nog liever een nieuwe body stripplanken á la Nico v. Baar […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Aan de buitenkant lijkt het mee te vallen, 5 flinke scheuren in het laminaat. Dat kan ik wel fixen.

En binnen bij de wielkast en dwarsbalk, dit is wel constructieve schade.

Een echte Windcheetah uit de 80's. Gebouwd door de legendarische Mike Burrows! Deze fiets heeft model gestaan voor de a1 en kan dus gezien worden als de voorouder m/v/x van alle modernere Nederlandse velomobielen. #regel17 #rule17

Een gele windcheetah in een licht chaotische werkplaats. Met wat tlc is tie wel weer rijklaar te krijgen.

De bedevaart naar Dronten kan ik ook afvinken. Gisterochtend was ik nog in Schiedam. In Heiloo bij een vriend overnacht, en vandaag Heiloo-Beilen. Met een tussenstop in Dronten. #regel17

Het is dus toch zover gekomen. Toegetreden tot de Orde der Velomobilisten. Quest XS 118 is nu van mij. Of moet ik nog een bedevaart naar Dronten maken? Hij past precies. Ik moet alleen het crankstel een stukje naar voren zetten. #regel17 #rule17

Night-time street scene with terraced houses in the distance dimly lit by streetlamps. In the foreground are barriers protecting roadworks and, formed from a pile of sand, is a sculpture of a stripy cat lying down in a relaxed posture.

First time out for a decent distance today since I had to retune everything after fitting the tailbag. I did Middelharnis-Breda. About 60 km. And I'm really amazed how fast I went. Ok, I'm just back from a gruelling graveltrip, I had the wind from behind but […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A front view of a man cycling towards the camers on an m-racer with a newly fitted tailbag. Here you can see how tiny the frontal surface area is.

The same as last picture, but from the rear

And one from the starboard sternquarters, to give a good view on the tailbag.

A gardentable with the contents that were in there; a complete archeryset, a timple, mat +sleepingbag, spare clothes, tools and more. I still had spare room though.

Upon arrival; My pawpaw babies are fine. And it's lovely to cycle a proper recumbent again! #permaculture #urbanpermaculture #regel17

My garden upon arrival; a lush variety of edible and useful plants growing in a dense, natural mini jungle. Sofar I watered only 5 times this year, so I think the ecosystem is starting to be self sufficient. In the foreground, the titanium shockproof.

This is one of the small pawpawtrees that was recently planted. It's doing fine, it even grew new leaves. On the background there is "eeuwig moes" (thousandhead?) and" snijbiet"(chard) amongst others.

Even the Calamondin, that has to make the best of it in a pot, is fine.

I have to cut it short, 'cause there's three baby pawpawtrees in my garden that are probably very thirsty by now.English trains are expensive, but you can take your bike for free. #bikepacking #BikesOnTrains #steelisreal #LookAtMyBikeLeaningAgainstStuff

A funny street sign, it says"Sodom Lane". There's some shrubs and a wooden post behind it. My Dawes is leaning against it giving a good view on my Carradice Nelson longflap saddlebag.

Just my bike leaning against a metal fence. It's such a lovely old machine.

Things are getting more and more cyclable as I go East. I'm starting to miss my recumbent.

A view from the West Essex ridgewaytrail. The landscape is getting gradually flatter and flatter.

This is a Dorset lane, the roadsurface is much smoother but the hedge are absolutely inpenetrable. You don't get to see a lot.

Weak bridge, closed for cars but apparently ok for bicycles. This is what you get for driving your stupid fat american cars, you fuck things up that were never designed to bare the abuse.

Note to self; when cycling off road wear some form of protective footwear.

Should you go cycling in Cornwall? Do you have a serious inclination to grow hooves, horns and bleat? Then by all means do. 20% is more like a rule then an exception. And the roadsurface is rarely sealed. You need at least a gravelbike or something more […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

About to head off. I decided to cycle back this time on the "blubberbukfiets". #BikeTooter #knitting #cornwall #plants #steelisreal

It took longer then usual but this is me modelling the "gele trui" or yellow jersey I was knitting to cycle in. In the background there is the interior of s caravan.

Rich Victorians liked to collect exotic plants. You can still find them all over Cornwall. I don't know what it's called but the leaves are larger than my bikeframe.

The same plant from close up. You can see it's flower. Between it's giant leaves.

The good old Dawes Galaxy, a.k.a. de blubberbukfiets. All packed and sacked.

Back in Kernow(Cornwall). It's been so exceptionally dry here, that I don't need the standard wellies when I take my #DawesGalaxy for a spin. #BikeTooter #cyclinguk #steelisreal

A rural view on the Carnon viaduct. Part of the Falmouth branchline.

A typical Cornish bike path. In wintertime it's a little river. So you have to find your way around a little higher.

More Cornish bikepath. This is part of the coast to coast trail from Porthtowan to Devoran.

Registrations are now open for the British Human Power Club race meet at Colchester Sports Park on the 9th of August. Nice smooth tarmac, good sightlines and sensible* corners make it the opposite of last weekend's twisty silliness at Hereford and Evesham. I'm also hoping that August means it […]

I don't post a lot about my garden, because I don't think much of myself as a gardener. Yet remembering 6 years ago when I moved in here, and this was a tiled desert, and comparing to 35+ edible species on about 15m2 of soil and all the wildlife it attracts […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
