Geen leuk ritje. Not a fun ride...

Lol.

@twilwel I hope you don't mind my loose translation into English and that it's close enough to your original meaning. I'm just now starting to learn Dutch and this was a great exercise for me. Cool video! Was this filmed in Flanders?

[twilwel]

@brucenator this was filmed in the province "Drenthe" in the north-east of the Netherlands. Good luck with your study.

[brucenator]

It's really no picnic at all. Sometimes the road disappears . . . especially when there's so many holes. The trees are bare. The traffic's murder. We're not getting anywhere. And just when you find a nice new tunnel along the way, it's chock-full of broken glass and (sigh) gets stuck in your tires. It can't get any worse. Beaten by bike riders, it just got worse. I leave my camera in the middle of the street. Nothing even worth shooting there. We've had enough excitement. We're heading home.

@brucenator thanks Bruce, excellent translation!

I'm coming to a point where it looks like I will be getting a Velomobile.

The Mango and the Quest are the two that I am looking at.

They are both great machines.

Which do you own and why did you pick one over the other?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

[twilwel]

I have owned both and they are BOTH great machines. I ride Quest now. I like to race and the Quest is simply the fastest at top speeds where aerodynamic efficiency is the predominant factor.

[MewFushisDad]

I don't race but for over 15 years I've transported my two kids every where in trailers, bike seats, a tandem bicycle and a triplet bicycle.

I want a solo bike for myself and have wanted a velomobile ever since I first saw one. The Quest with the front wheels covered by the body-fairing, how is it's maneuverability in traffic compared to the Mango?

Plus I would be using it as transportation when traveling solo.

What kind of storage space do the two machines have?

Many Thanks

[twilwel]

The Mango is much better manouvarable in traffic. Both machines have enough storage space in the back, under the seat and to your sides for a solo-tour with a small tent and luggage like some clothing, cooking gear, thermarest and sleepingbag. Packing is best done as seperate items in plastic bags, as that way you can store much more efficiently. Mango has a smaller rear wheel, which means more space close behind and less effect on riding characteristics because of heavy luggage.

[MewFushisDad]

Thank you for all your help.

Now to decide which one......(-;

Keep putting out the great videos....

[MewFushisDad]

What was it that you ran over?

How badly were the tire sliced?

What make of tires do you run?

[twilwel]

Actually the whole film is a joke. We stopped in time to avoid most of the glass (broken bottles), but just to make sure, we inspected our tires. They didn't have a scratch.

Hallo,

Dat is een leuke montage geworden! Ik vind um zeker grappig, je krijgt de smaak aardig te pakken met het monteren zie ik al. Na 'de nieuwjaarsgroet' en de het 'jumpen met de Huneliggers' is dit een mooi vervolg. Keep editing!

[twilwel]

Dank je. Het valt me wel op dat de teksten te kort in beeld zijn. Ik ga het filmpje dus nog effe weer bewerken en opnieuw posten

[twilwel]

De bewerking was geen succes. Na uploaden rare strepen in het beeld, dus laat ik het origineel toch maar staan
