Quick blast through the Dutch polders at sundown

[Chris_D]

Addressed a few rattles and squeaks today after discovering them on yesterday's' jaunt to the Veluwezoom.
Quick shakedown drive through the bumpy roads in the fields around Sunny Vleuten. All squeaks gone. Yay. But I think those outrageously tall profile winter tyres help dampen out a lot of the road vibration! Makes for a very comfy ride tho.
Stopped to get a few snaps.

It's as dead as a door nail usually. You see the occasional tractor and vicar-on-bike but very quiet, yeah. Nice.
Makes for great cycling roads too

Thanks for sharing your day. I cycles a little bit around Holland in my youth. Very quite, even close to Rotterdam, in those days. I did miss the the hills though. No where to get out of the wind. :wink:

Yep, comes in rattle cans or big tubs to use with a more professional compressor spray for whole cars etc.
I used a can for each wheel, about 5 coats and half a can for the grill surrounds- about 7 coats for durability etc.
Will be dipping my summer wheels when the go back on come spring.....not sure of colour yet..

Its top for biking pver here buzy. With the dedicated cycle lanes on virtually every major road it's v safe too.
Having lived at the foot of Pendle hill in Lancs for a few years I also miss the hills. Have to drive over to Arnhem or down to Limburg to get any hill action! Lol
