Speedhub 500/14
SPEEDHUB500/14 "Quicker than the surf" France 1994. The atmosphere at the "Tour de France" was exhilarating and working with the teams and mechanics was exciting too. Our Rohloff S-L-T 99 chan has proven a success with its reliability! So at last, a couple of quiet days on theAtlantic coast. Why not take the Moutain bike on the beach?!Crazy idea, yes! Riding exactly where the surf runs out! After just 200m, total stand still! The rear wheel is stuck fast in the wet sand. Changing the gears impossible! Derailleur gears won’t work when you are stuck! The next wave came and both rider and bike received the first salt-water shower. Chain and sprockets are grinding full of fine sand. The next wave came - now nothing works. The waves were rolling in faster than we could change gears. Still, it must feel great to have the waves roll out under the bottom-bracket. This idea didn't let go of me. The lights were now burning bright and late into the night. The construction department in the Rohloff Company was working overtime. Successful gear changes and sprocket combinations were investigated. Mountainbike, downhill, touring and everyday riders were asked along with sports physicians: How many gears do you need and what has a gear hub got to be capable of in order to achieve maximum riding fun? 1997: findally we had our answer and put it to the test! Guess where... The rear wheel is stuck fast in the wet sand. The first wave is coming. Change the gears down while stuck. -

Delft University of Technology Faculty of Industrial Design Department of Industrial Design Engineering Chair: Ir. R. Wever Mentor: Ir. E.W. Thomassen External mentor: Ing. B. Vastbinder Company: Vrachtfiets 1 | Page 2 | Page Summery “The Vrachtkar is a foldable bicycle trailer” The Vrachtkar is designed for modern people who want to feel free to transport everything, practically, sustainable and independent. Carry your new furniture, beer crates, paint cans and even two big shopping bags. With the Vrachtkar there is no need to worry. It carries your purchases from door to door.

The Vrachtkar connects every bicycle with its unique Acknowledges lasso hitch without any pre-installations to your bicycle. The Vrachtkar is designed for you and your family. Many thanks to all who supported me. First of all, my mother who was an inspiration for this project. She cycled me when I was a child to every corner of the universe. I saw here daily effort with huge shopping bags. As a painter she carried dozens of brushes and tons of paint cans to her clients. She only needed a bicycle to carry tables, birthday parties, plants, soil, wood, mirrors or huge Christmas trees. Thanks to Onno Sminia who is a true college and a friend, and who worked so hard after his graduation project and during my final project weeks to accomplish a new Vrachtfiets prototype. -

Questions about a Champion "If a misdeed arises in the search for truth, it is better to exhume it rather than conceal the truth." Saint Jerome. "When I wake up in the morning, I can look in the mirror and say: yes, I'm clean. It's up to you to prove that I am guilty." Lance Armstrong, Liberation, July 24,2001. "To deal with it, the teams must be clear on ethics. Someone crosses the line? He doesn't have the right to a second chance!" Lance Armstrong, L'Equipe, April 28, 2004. Between the World Road Champion encountered in a Norwegian night club, who sipped a beer, talked candidly, laughed easily and never let the conversation falter, and the cyclist with a stem, closed face, who fended off the July crowd, protected by a bodyguard or behind the smoked glass of the team bus, ten years had passed. July 1993. In the garden of an old-fashioned hotel near Grenoble, I interviewed Armstrong for three hours. It was the first professional season for this easygoing, slightly cowboyish, and very ambitious Texan. I left with a twenty-five-page interview, the chapter of a future book11 was writing about the Tour de France. I also took with me a real admiration for this young man, whom I thought had a promising future in cycling. Eight years later, in the spring of 2001, another interview. But the Tour of 1998 had changed things. Scandals and revelations were running rampant in cycling. Would my admiration stand the test? In August 1993, it was a happy, carefree, eloquent Armstrong, whom Pierre Ballester, met the evening after he won the World Championship in Oslo. -
Lance Armstrong: a Greedy Doper Or an Innocent Victim?
Lance Armstrong: A Greedy Doper or an Innocent Victim? “When the doctor asked if he’d [Armstrong] ever used performance-enhancing drugs, Lance answered, in a matter-of-fact tone, yes. He’d used EPO, cortisone, testosterone, human growth hormone, and steroids” (Hamilton, Coyle, 2012). This incident was widely described in Frankie Andreu’s affidavit in the USADA document, and is supposed to have happened in the fall of 1996 when Armstrong was diagnosed with cancer. What Tyler Hamilton (one of Armstrong’s former teammates) stresses in the next few lines of his statement is the openness with which Armstrong used to talk about doping and his involvement in the process: “He wants to minimize doping, show it’s no big deal, show that he’s bigger than any syringe or pill.” Hamilton makes a statement that Armstrong is “cavalier about doping” and had never really cared to hide his susceptibility to doping. Obviously, Lance Armstrong denies that any of the above mentioned situations had ever happened. Someone must be lying then. Based solely on one person’s words against another person’s words, it is impossible to verify who the liar is. Therefore, Armstrong’s case needs thorough and honest research, and evaluation of circumstantial evidence, taking into account both sides of the argument. On Saturday, November 10 th , Lance Armstrong released a photo of himself resting in the living room of his house in Austin, TX, while admiring his seven Tour de France yellow jerseys hanging on the walls. The yellow jerseys stand for the Tour de France titles of which Lance Armstrong has just recently been stripped.
