Stocking Stuffers!

Wednesday, 27 October 2010 04:37

It couldn’t be much easier than this… and sometimes (been there) it can be really awkward without something like this simple pair of pliers to open those ‘missing link’ connectors! And then there is this chain-wear measuring tool! Even I can push the little level with one finger… Now there are a couple of “stocking [...]

“End of the Road”

Monday, 25 October 2010 17:07

Today’s little trip around the park was actually for a whole separate reason… I’ve been shooting the same ride since summer, recording the change of the seasons and then hoping to do a video of one ride around the park with each season gradually morphing into the next. Great plan until you run into a [...]

Monday, 25 October 2010 12:19

We learned today (from Ligfiets.net) that Cycle Vision is moving to Biddinghuizen in 2011. The grounds at the FlevOnice facility in Biddinghuizen, Holland are really unique… by winter they are a 5 km. outdoor speedskating facility. This video shows you some of the summer use: Those curves are going to make for some VERY interesting [...]

Make your 70 mm. brakes REALLY work!

Sunday, 24 October 2010 10:16

I have been talking to friends about braking power on velomobiles… or at least on my Mango. The braking power has been a wee bit weaker than I had anticipated; enough so that I have consciously added to the braking distance I will need in almost every situation. David Hembrow has a solution that may [...]
