my recumbents

I own a Zephyr – type recumbent. It is made of stainless steel. Originally it is a low-racer, but the way I changed it it became a heavy commuter !

Since october 2007 I also own a Quest. I bought it in Dronten, at a very nice bike-workshop called Velomobiel.

I like to listen to music while dreaming away on my commute, but I hate the earplugs because I can’t hear the other traffic and my ears get full of that greasy stuff (cerumen)! So I bought some cheap speakers and build it on my Zephyr-bike. I am using a simple digital radio now, but I can plug in an Ipod as well (if I had one).

In Juli 2006 I bought a SON- hubdynamo for the Zephyr. It is working fine in combination with the DLumotec Senso Plus . I want to make it work in combination with a battery-pack, in the near future.

In wintertime I use my Quest all the time. This machine is designed just for those cold, wet and windy weather conditions ! From the day I cycled this new bike home from Dronten to my hometown Vlissingen (277 kilometers) I regret that I didn’t buy this machine years and years before. It’s a cold comfort that Velomobiel started producing Quests only in 2000, so I am the proud owner of Quest-number 215.

The next video shows the maiden-trip of my quest from Dronten to Vlissingen :

This is a short and simpel video which shows the first modifications I made.
