Work in *PROGRESS* 😸

… found a DC–DC converter that the Kling-el sound module is willing to work with. 😮‍💨

Now the enclosure needs to be upgraded in #FreeCAD for the additional PCB to fit in.

@jchmoe.bsky.social I'm not done talking about velomobiles. Like, if for some reason I had to move somewhere that didn't have adequate public transit, I'd be so likely to buy one. Look at this one! It has a hybrid electric feature too!

Project "PosLi", 1st prototype.

The model can be configured to fit almost any #velomobile scoop (height, angle and radii are variables). You're welcome to share the values for your velomobile (any other than Alpha W9 and old Strada) with me.

I'm still waiting for LEDs & -drivers to arrive…

My Bülk #velomobile is still for sale. I adjusted the price a little bit. More details here: https://saukki.com/2025/09/for-sale-bulk-mk1-077/

Feel free to share the link to other places and velomobile communities as well.

I'll connect the alarm to the velomobile's power. – Never ever again worry if the alarm's batteries are still good enough. 😺

@jchmoe.bsky.social like, look at the pod bike? How cool is this?! It looks so retro future!

@jchmoe.bsky.social reminded me of my love for velomobiles and now I'm caught up in an endless rabbit hole of checking out the latest in velomobile technology.

If you don't know what they are, start here:
https://www.velomobileworld.com/what-is-a-velomobile/

I'm particularly interested in the ones that have covered seating, and even more interested in the two seaters. They are just the coolest thing in the world to me (next to trains, trains are also very cool) :trainsgender:

@AwetTesfaiesus tatsächlich sinnvoll und technisch wahrscheinlich weit einfacher wäre das mit schienengebundenen Verkehr.
Aber wenn man Verkehrswende mal zu ende denkt mit vernünftigen vielleicht #ki gesteuerten #ÖPNV einer systematischen Förderung von #HPV und damit folgender geringen #KFZdichte wäre das der nächste Schritt.

*HPV steht in dem Zusammenhang für Human powerd vehicles, seien es #cargobikes , #velomobile etc

#Velomobile vs Roadie 😉

Yes, with the bike-bells-sequence other cyclists now hear my #velomobile "Kling-el" better. :ed_grin:

Test ride with temporarily mounted speaker (at the air intake) was more or less a success. Instead of single bell ringing sounds I mixed some together into a longer sequence for upcoming tests.

I got the dimensions of the USB-C jack wrong the first time … :eyeroll: But now everything fits fine. The PCB is held exactly in place by the top lid.

For such #3dprinting projects I like those self-tapering screws for plastics. Once installed in my #velomobile with the right lengthened wires, electronics and speaker enclosures will be closed (the later one w/ glue).

Making enclosures and lids fit was easy w/ binders (offset -0.1mm) in #FreeCAD.

If you're considering to buy an Alpha #velomobile – order now! The manufacturer decided to discontinue the production. At the time being it's unknown if someone else will continue building these great vehicles.

For me the models remaining on the market are out of question. 👎

@pete @ascentale @bikenite look for #regel17 or #rule17 and you will find a massive amount of recumbent, often #velomobile messages. Since I use this # now, I have to include an appropriate image

@freecad
I'm testing out ideas for a mounting (other that sticky tape 😹) for those #velomobile brake cooling air scoops I did earlier this summer.

I've been working on a secret project this month. 20 years ago I lived in the UK and decided I had to go on one epic bike ride before leaving the country so in July 2006 I cycled from Land's End to John o'Groats - the length of the country from the furthest South-West point to the furthest North-East. The route that I took was just over 1700 km and it took ten days of cycling. It was fun, but also quite dangerous. A lot of those km were on A-roads, some of them on dual carriageways which are motorway standard except that they lack a safe hard shoulder to pull over onto. In all honesty, I can't really recommend it.

Anyway, the secret project this month was to ride the distance of LEJOG while doing all the usual things that I do each month. I decided on 1407 km as the target as that's the shortest possible LEJOG route. No need to push myself too hard this time.

I only thought of this idea in the second week of July. I'd made a good start with the 200 km ride that we did on the first Sunday of the month, but I'd also had a couple of relatively lazy days so I had fallen behind the ~45 km a day required to finish the distance in 31 days but not by much (I told you it'd be relatively relaxed).

Registrations are now open for the next British Human Power Club race meet at Colchester Sports Park on the 9th of August. Nice smooth tarmac, good sightlines and sensible* corners make it the opposite of last weekend's twisty silliness at Hereford and Evesham. I'm also hoping that August means it won't be stupidly cold, like it was when we last went there in 2022 and I had to un-jam my chain with frozen fingers.

* For certain values of sensible: There's a steep embankment on the outside of the hairpin to keep things interesting if you overcook it.

Cycling to and back from the radiotelescope on Sunday.
A very pleasant day out with @twilwel, @TheoZw and a couple of others who aren't on Mastodon (yet).

Jos joku kaipailee kevyttä ja nopeaa kinneriä niin Nokialla on kaupan Alpha 7 #65. Eikä vissiin ole vielä edes 100tkm ajettu 😊

Myyjän tunnen ja voin suositella jotta on rehtiä kauppaa ja tarkka tavaroistaan.

(English below)

We hebben vandaag de Haren-Haren fietstocht gefietst. Een 150 km route (die 159 km was ;-), en ook vanuit huis naar het begin en weert terug. Voor mij was dat 207 km in totaal en volgens mijne fietscomputer had ik op maar 29.9 km/u gemiddeld gefietst.

Het is een hele leuke fietstocht, volledig gepijld, door de prachtig landscapen van Drenthe, Groningen en een klein beetje Duitsland.

A number of us joined in with the Haren-Haren cycle touring ride today. Our group of three chose the 150 km ride, which turned out to be 159 km. For me the total distance today was 207 km, covered in six hours and 56 minutes elapsed, which my bike computer disappointingly insisted was an average of 29.9 km/h despite my enthusiastic pedaling on the last few km before home.

It's a really well organised ride, with comprehensive signs and arrows showing the way, an it goes through the lovely countryside of Drenthe, Groningen and a little bit of Germany.
