What is a huneligger ?

http://hembrow.blogspot.com/2010/11/what-is-huneligger.html

I'm not sure everyone who's seen previous videos worked out what "huneligger" meant. The name comes from "HUNEbed" "LIGfietsers". The video and accompanying blog post show one of the hunebedden. A ligfietser is someone who rides a recumbent bike.

See the link above for more information about the hunebedden.

Great video, David. You have it right – a velomobile is perfect for this kind of weather.

I wonder how the solar panel performs. Have you blogged about it?

@rhein228 The solar panel keeps the battery topped up quite well in summer, but at this time of year with the less strong and lower in the sky it does virtually nothing. That's to be expected, I guess. I have blogged about - or rather about the other, larger, solar panel on my garage roof which has a similar problem in the winter.

@DavidHembrow Thx -- I have a solar power plant on my house for 10 years now -- works well. Got interested in the panel for next summer's "Roll over America" tour -- that might solve the issue of charging. What is the make? Did you just tape it on? Josef

[DavidHembrow]

@rhein228 Yes it's just taped on. I can't remember the name of the company I bought it from right now. I also built a little regulator to make sure it doesn't over-charge the battery (no chance in winter, but possible in summer) and built that into the dashboard, so it charges safely as I ride, even when also using the battery power.

@jegesbubu

Hunebedden are described (in translation) as 'tombs' , 'graves' and 'burial sites'. This means supporting evidence for such use has been found. Archaeologists describe what is known, they may suggest 'ritual' use where no practical function can be established.

Your 'psychic abilities' theory is baseless. Some years ago in Philadelphia, all the fortune-tellers were shut-down by the Police. Not one fortune-teller saw it coming, they were all caught by surprise.

Psychics or frauds?

Beautiful video, Mango and country. Thanks

awesome weather, awesome mango ! :) but i'm pretty sure dolmens were not used as buriel sites but rather as a means to enhance psychic abilities - for meditation. Amazing how clean of snow the paths were!

Beautiful scenic ride! Nice Mango (Jealous) :P
