I wonder what kind of bird it is if I *have* seen it before.

A one minute tour of my cleaned up, improved bike shed. Not finished, but already SO happy with it! #CyclingBluesky

The copper rivets on this Brooks saddle turned green from just hanging on the bike shed's wall. Time to put it to use, so my butt can give them a polish. #CyclingBluesky

Not a weight weenie, but that’s quite a difference. #CyclingBluesky

Finally got to use this star nut insertion tool. Cheap little thing from AliExpress, but works great and more than good enough for the sporadic moments that I need it. #CyclingBluesky

Finally got rid of that ugly, heavy, useless suspension fork on my friend's Cannondale city beater. Looks better, steers more precise, and saves 700gr in one fell swoop. #CyclingBluesky

Do you still patch your tires? Or am I the last one standing…? 🤓 #CyclingBluesky

E-bikes and E-cargo bikes are rapidly going the way of cars. Bigger, heavier, more complicated, shorter lifespan, requiring professional maintenance, and being less and less attainable for the masses.

Store that sells walls: Wallmart

The SRAM ESP 1:1 shifting on my winter bike is so rock solid that I was happy to see that my latest classifieds find had SRAM derailleurs and shifters. I expected the same flawless operation, but it was totally crap, actually. Can you spot the culprit? #CyclingBluesky youtube.com/shorts/J63oc...

So stoked with my classifieds find! Carbon tubes bonded to aluminium lugs, lightweight, nice parts, in good condition, and all for €25! Can’t wait to give this one new life! #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

This 2004 postcard resurfaced today. My parents were going on a once in a lifetime, big trip to the USA. When I heard they would also be crossing Utah, I told them how jealous I was… The Slick Rock Trail in Moab was totally iconic for me. They sent this to tease me 😛 #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

I bought this can of grease 35 years ago. The Fiat grease was supposedly the exact same grease as that what was sold by Campagnolo in expensive little tubes. Don't know if it's true, but it has served me and my bikes well all that time. I put the remnants in a small container today. End of an era.

Exploring the local gravel roads - or actually any single or double trail, forrest or farmer's road, twisty bike lane that we could string together for a nice morning ride. Good times! #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky youtu.be/E26h64uHFMw

Just me, cruising one handed with a freezer. That mus be like, the coolest (get it!?) cargo ever! 😁 #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky 1

Round titanium tubes, bonded to sculpted aluminium lugs, with some knocks and scratches from its earlier adventures over the laat decades… it’s a combo I love! 😍 #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Installing a saddle is easy… if the bike actually has a seat post 😛🤷🏻‍♂️ #helpingsomeoneout #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Gold, pure gold.

There's two! #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Sticky business today, finally getting the sh*tload of stickers of the Koga Miyata TiRunner. But it was fun; working with your beat friend is always a good time 👊 #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Look, this video is funny. And as a guy who still rides 90s mtbs the ‘this is getting a bit ridiculous’ vibe fully resonates with me. But, that said: this video is lame. Not because it’s wrong, but because it ridicules VLAB/Cervélo for doing THE EXACT SAME THING Team UAE/Pinarello is doing.

Did I just clone a frame? #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Working on something' 🤓 #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Beautiful weather, good friends, beautiful route, sprinkled with some tomfoolery: recipe for good vibes! #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

For better or worse, Bluesky’s growth and participation are falling. I believe in its purpose, so I’m here and here only. Unlike algorithm-driven platforms, the “like” button only tells the poster you appreciated it. To get content seen, the “repost” button is key. That’s how it spreads.

Finally made some Whatever shirts with an artist friend. Would you rock them? [bs

Went on an awesome 60 person group ride with the absolute legend Lael Wilcox. Afterwards watched the Dutch premiere of the wonderful film documenting her record setting 108 day cycling trip around the world. Great, inspirational day with all nice and interesting people ❤️ #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Snack bag prototype testing phase has begun 👊🥼🔬🧑‍🔬🧪 #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

An oldie from my bike courier days. #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Changing seats - easy as 1-2-3. Setting up my new Tioga Spyder multi holed saddle for a few test rides. #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

The Social Ride was fun. We're a bit knackered from tailing behind them youngsters on their big wheeled bikes, but I think we held our won quite nicely 😛 #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Pocking up my friend Michiel at the station for joining a group ride. Brought an extra bike along for him to ride, and my little mascot 😛 #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

I don’t care about the new pope (I think religion is stupid and bad, sorry if that offends you), but I did find a replacement bolt, so white smoke from me too! 💨 #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Took the dog with me, in my messenger bag, so he could run the gravel stretch along the rail road. I think he enjoyed it 😛 #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Pre ride routine: • Check major bike functions (brakes, tires, drivetrain, wheels, cockpit) • Fill water bottle • Check presence of tool bottle and pump • Put wind jacket and some snacks in snack bag • Hang helmet on bike #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Not the best weather, another crash, not the best legs… but a lovely day nonetheless! Best buddies to ride with, a beautiful nature area to ride through, and cheery old bikes to ride on. What's not to love?! #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

I routinely rummage the clothing racks at the thrift store whenever I am there (quite often, that is, lol), and usually all they have is old jerseys that I don't like, full of sponsor names etc. But every once in a while, there's a gem like this one. Sweet nineties, baby! #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Arrived an half hour early at my appointment (by mistake, of course), so I killed some time at our city center park #Spoorpark. Why don't I go there more often? #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Two more bike tinkering tools. A nifty Birzmann chain wear indicator, and a handy Icetoolz cable puller (for more easily setting up cable actuated brakes and derailleurs). Love it! #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Dit zou viraal moeten gaan. Het is werkelijk verschrikkelijk en om gillend gek van te worden. PFAS-water ging gewoon jarenlang het afvoerputje in. Letterlijk; direct gif lozen in het riool. Alles. Mag. Kapot. Mensen, dieren, milieu. Ik ben het zo kotsbeu. En verder hoera voor Zembla.

Finally got myself a little tool trolley. I like working outside when the weather allows, so this will come in handy. #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

With such a backlight, you cannot *not* stop to make a picture of your bike. #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

It’s raining, and somehow I can’t stop thinking about going on a nice bikepacking trip. Now’s the moment to get the gear setup prepared! Learned a lot from our provisional setup last year, have some nice ideas to work out 🤓🏕️🚲 #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Finally got my first Knipex pliers! Heard so much good stuff about them, that I replaced my worn cable cutter with this little fella. It's small, but its cuts are clean! #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Starting to flip bikes lately. Guess that’s what happens when family, relatives and friends have all been provided, lol. Bikes in, take off the best parts, build it up with simpler but good parts, for those who want a freshly built up, cheap, nice bike. Win-win! #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

My nephew's bike. I built this nice 90s Univega for him 2 years ago with some blue accents and a very cool, limited edition Shimano Deore LX 'gold' groupset. Life with an adolescent is hard on a bike, but it has kept up quit nicely! Bikes are meant to be ridden 👊 #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Cool ass kid on a cool ass bike. #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

Doesn't get more sexy than this 🤓 #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky

I didn't need a break, but the nice weather did make me want one 🙃 Made a little detour to this small but beautiful city centre park. #CyclingBluesky #Bikesky
