The run is international. Beautiful terrain through France best country side , and very social with all these different people with there " The other bikes" . I even saw a couple of Cruzbike Vendettas and a Silvio 2.0 at the start.

Need right :) Martinius.

What about the guys standing up on the exercise bikes with a planetary cross trainer arrangement!!!
I wonder how far they rode?

There was a lot of different storage arrangements, AND lights

slim i reckon they might not have gotten to 1200klm but then again i would not be surprised. anyone who participates is a hero and must have met the start criteria. we had a decent aussie contingent too this year.

And apparently, the PBP has been done with one of those before, at least I seem to remember reading that last time I looked at one of these.
I also remember seeing a sprint demonstration from one of these (vs a fast bent, though I don't recall which). Needless to say, the rowing bike won, likely for similar reasons that the Cruzbikes are efficient/fast.

Derk Thys and his brother from the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands is a well known designer and production manager . There bicycle products are amazing HPV innovations :) Its well worth looking at the company production time line here and see how there bikes where done back in time and how they are manufactured today :)
Especially the fact that Derk and his brother have developed bikes with possible use fore "disabled persons" is something i personally appreciate very much.

The quality and durability of these bikes is amazing. When any of you Cruzbikers visits the Netherlands some day i can advize to pop by a visit in his little factory in the city of Middelburg , province Zeeland in the Nethelands . Besides that there is another factory by the name of M5 ligfietsen in the same town . The owners name is Bram Moens and him and his staf guides customers in a gentle way through the factory and exhibition hall.

Thank you Martinius :)

Papou you did your best and that is what counts right ? I hope you had great fun riding this fantastic run. I am a bit curious about how it went with the Step board people , i`ll gues they are from Holland ? Do you know anything about that ? Is there a final finish list available from the run maybe ?

Thanks fore sharing your photo Martinius.
