"Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby,
to be picked up and laid down like a game
of Solitaire. It is a grand passion."

Week 16, 2007 commencing on April 16th. First part. |
"Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of Solitaire. It is a grand passion." Ralph Waldo Emerson (Guy) |
 Break. (Guy) |
 "I ride to live, and live to ride." (Guy) |
 "We're making a plan." (Guy) |
 "This man on the opposite side is making a photograph." (Guy) |
 One after another out in the open. |
 "It's the map of where I want to live." (Guy) |
 Up and away. (Guy) |
 The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't. (Douglas Adams) |
 "So that's documented." |
 CO2? |
 A major sponsor. (Guy) |
 CO2 emission decrease demonstration. |
 In the backgarden of the Municipal Museum this vineyard looked like an installation. (Guy) |
 Poplars. |
 "This is our target." |
 Hopefully no hole in the pavement. |
 Still a dangerous obstacle. Until now nobody met his fate on the pavement. No blood, no scratches on the pink tiles. |
 Wednesday early. |
 "Did anything happen?" (Guy) |
 "Yes, it's happening?" (Guy) |
 "I'm bringing it to the zoo." (Guy) |
 "It's got to be ready today!" (Guy) |
 We pedalled through the Sarphatistraat which Nescio, in the old days, thought was the most beautiful street in the www, the whole wide world. |
 Out of production BMW moped. |
 Breitling resale man, importer or sponsored rally driver. |
 Chevrolet, imported from California. |
 Young girls with old bikes. |
 One of the most wanted models from De Fietsfabriek. |
 Here De Fietsfabriek also repairs bikes of other makes. |
 The new outlet of De Fietsfabriek in the Sarphatistraat (AMS). |
 "Breaking news." |
 09:15. "I'm on my way, won't take more than ten minutes." |
 "I'm afraid I can't make it in time. No, I am in a jolly good mood." |
 Tuesday, fairly cool. (Guy) |
 The bridge across the Amstel is kept cool, cause otherwise it would expand and not open when needed or would not close again, becoming an blockade in traffic, as it once happened, when it blocked most of the entire city. This heat is unusual for mid April. (Guy) |
 Later, in the evening, it appeared that the pavement was just barely repaired. Still potentially dangerous. As if in Newark. |
 Coolest. (Guy) |
 Shady lane. (Guy) |
 "Gimme a time out." (Guy) |
 Almost! |
 On the quiet part of the Beethovenstraat, something awful is about to happen. |
 Monday April 16th. "But then the weather forecast can be wrong." (Guy) |
