Solo, here we go!

"Oooh yes!" That were most of my thoughts during and after the test ride today in the brand new and almost finished Vrijwiel Solo. I've finished the prototype of the top of the luggage compartment so it was time to test it. Let me be honest with you, I don't think that this part of the bike is very beautiful, you could call it even ugly with all those cracks and bumps in it. I will definitely work it over the coming weeks to make it look a bit better. But man does that thing work! You can feel that the bike is very narrow with just the 75cm width it needs in Holland to be able to ride on the road as well as on the cycling lane. It just cuts through the wind.
I promise that I will make it look a little bit nicer, especially that back top part. Besides that little bugger, testing season has begun. Everyone who is interested may come over for a test ride. Write an email to hallo@olafglasmacher.nl or make a comment.

Solo naked


 As promised yesterday, here are the pictures of the Solo construction. It will be covered in corrugated pp sheet tomorrow. Not long and I will test drive it on the road. I will keep you informed about the facts.

Teaser pictures Solo


 Here are some fresh teaser pictures form today's work. They're good enough to get an idea about the actual proportions. I hope you can enjoy them. I'll take some tomorrow by day light.

English, please!

Dear people from The Netherlands, Germany, The United States, Canada, Turkey, France, Japan, India, Australia, Italy, Russia, Poland, Ireland, Egypt, Israel and all the other wonderful countries, your views during the last weeks made me think about the language I'm writing this blog in. Since most of the viewers of www.vrijwiel.blogspot.com are from outside The Netherlands I've decided to write the following posts from now on in English.

Enjoy, please!
