About me
As I told you before I live in the north of Germany, a wonderful area for velomobiles. But let’s look back…
I have an expertise of almost forty years of cycling experience. At the beginning I competed as a sprinter in track cycling and later in mountain biking. In addition, I travelled the world on cycle tours lasting several months. For many years, my focus was on long-distance cycling. I competed in numerous brevets (distances from 200 to over 1,000 km), including the long-distance Paris-Brest-Paris (2019) race with over 1,200 km.
Details about my 2022 record ride
30 hours and a little wiser: After I managed to break the record (27-28 August 2022) and improve the World Record, with my Bülk Mk 1, by more than 3 hours (1094 km in 29h:57min), Velomobile World asked me to share my thoughts, before and during crossing Germany from South to North in my velomobile.

Bülk MK1 Velomobile
After Eggert Bülk and Jens Buckbesch started the Milan project in 2005 (which is still running successfully today), they started a new velomobile project in 2021, the Bülk-MK1. It implements a new space utilization and aerodynamic concept. The findings from various wind tunnel tests were also taken into account. Jens documented every step of the Bülk-MK1 project, then he sent us very detailed info to create a page where you can discover the philosophy of the Bülk-MK1.
What is a velomobile
A velomobile is a human-powered vehicle related to the bicycle, for everyday use, with a body/shell that provides comfort, weather protection and luggage space. Due to the aerodynamically shaped bodywork, you can achieve a decent speed with little effort (30-50 km/h on flat road). Velomobiles are very suitable as commuter vehicles, for shopping or holidays, also are a good way to clear your mind while taking a tour or a road trip with your friends.
