I promised to keep everyone updated on the status of Bram’s velomobile (velomobiel in Dutch). And here are the pictures Bram sent me a few days ago. Bram got his “lady beetle Quest” back just right for Christmas as it seems and also for the big velomobile meeting in Almere.
when I cycled in the Netherlands 2 to 3 weeks ago I came pretty close to Almere where they now had this big event between Christmas and New Year. Wim has taken some pictures from the event and put them on his flickr photo stream. Here’s one of them to give you a first idea.
There are also some videos up on YouTube for everyone to see the whole clan riding together: YouTube videos of 2008 meeting in Almere.

Reader Jack has commented and supplied me with the link to a collection with all the online material of the meeting, just click here.
And by the way: If you’re getting interested in one of these fancy vehicles … they’re not easy to get. If you want a new one, you have to join the queue of already waiting “want to be Quest riders” in the orderbook and the earliest you’ll get a new one is April 2013!
But luckily there are many alternatives, even if almost every Quest rider will tell you that it’s the perfect one (for him), of course. For many of them it’s a love story and you can see that magical glow in their eyes, when they’re talking about their beloved Quest
