Photos from recent delivery runs.

To the greatest extent possible I do my work by human power, but there are limits to how much I can control.

This morning I made a delivery to someone who lives in a village in Drenthe so that delivery was made 100% by human power as I rode there and back in my velomobile.

Parts ordered by people who live thousands of km away are a different story. I can then only control the first few km. So I go as far by bike as I can and then those parcels continue their journeys by commercial shipping companies.

All shipping companies make green claims these days, and they make rather more grand claims than I do. But none of those claims amount to anything close to traveling by human power alone.

Cycle-path vs. "road". We have asphalt.
My bike a few days ago transporting several parcels including a large one in the bike trailer which weighed just under 20 kg. Quite a cumbersome package to carry.

Today's second utility ride was a 12 km round trip to the recycling centre with a heavy trailer loaded with the remains of a useless decorative plant. We now have a bit more space in our front garden for the far more useful apple tree to expand into.
Three speed hub gears are a fabulous invention for utility cycling.

The same bike, same trailer, but now at the recycling centre.
