  • Koga Signature (aka Newtonian Motion)

    About 20 years ago I bought myself a Koga Signature. I was working in The Netherlands at the time and the government still subsidised the purchase of bicycles. You could trade in some of your vacation days for money to buy a bike. I cannot remember the exact amount you could trade in but as…

  • Back Saver

  • 5k run in May

    Yesterday I went for what I thought would be a 4k run building up the distance again after not having run for a while. Work has been very busy lately with an endless sequence of meetings to attend and no time for lunch runs anymore. Come to think about it, lunch has been replaced by…
