Spezi2010: Who is showing what – Part 4

This is the fourth post in the series of articles on what will be seen on this year’s Spezi in Germersheim

Sometimes Comments are no comments – or not from the person you think they are

On 25th of January, I published a post about the new Alleweder 7. As a reaction on this post, a comment was sent which someone who called himself “Kaczy Marek” wrote:

Who is the fastest recumbent rider?

I personally think that the majority of recumbent riders is riding recumbently because it is more comfortable. However, there is of course an active little minority which is interested in high-speeds. Therefore, Lars from Speedmachine Adventures starts a little contest.

Velomobile article on www.spiegel.de

Spiegel.de is one of the bigger news-sites in Germany. Today they published an article about velomobiles by Holger Dambeck. The article is written in German but the google translation is not too bad. It is interesting to see that recumbent cycling and also velomobiles find their way into mass media now. The author did quite [...]

Mail notification did not work

If you tried to notify me via the contact-page, please send the message again. The mail notification did not work.
I realised that I was neither notified on comments nor on new registrations. I do not know why this happened but a plugin from Callum MacDonald which changes mail delivery from a php-function to smtp helped. [...]

Recommended Website 1: speedmachineadventures.blogspot.com

 Every here and then, I would like to present some interesting websites. Today it is not only one, but a couple of sites. Speedmachinist (as he calls himself) Lars Reisberg, who is living in Hamburg, runs his Blog at speedmachineadventures.blogspot.com.
