MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{My White Schwinn Bike}

For Mother's Day, Pieter did buy me this nice white 7 speed Schwinn Bike. It works so much better than our heavy old 3 speed Dutch bikes. Georgia is hilly and those hills kill you when going uphill... In The Netherlands it is real easy as the country is as flat as a pancake, except for a little part in the very deep south.
November 4, nice and sunny, like today.
Next to our magnolia tree on the driveway.

Perfect weather for a spin on the bike...
Come up partner...
Let's roll!
Pieter often goes by bike to the store; his way of exercising.
Together we bike in our Holly Hills area...

  5. You two look darling, Mariette. I love Dutch bikes! My American bike may be more modern and efficient, but it does not look half as good as the bikes I saw in Amsterdam last time I visited your country :-) Enjoy your rides while the nice weather lasts! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

    ....nou dan weet je het wel, nou dan weet je het wel...♪♪♪

    Lekker sportief en zeker goed voor de conditie,maar daar ontbrak het bij jullie al niet aan.
    En nu het bij jullie niet meer zo heel erg warm is is een tochtje op zo'n sportieve fiets een gezellig tijdverdrijf.

    Fijne dag en lieve groeten!!

    1. Cara Rosetta,
      Divertente coincidenza circa la sciarpa! Il mio era un regalo da una cara amica dalla Colombia. Era solo il colore perfetto per il mio maglione e mi piacela molto.
      Baci,
      Mariette

  12. Hej Mariëtte, fijn zo'n goede fiets. Hier zie je veel elektrische fietsen, ook al is Nederland plat. Trouwens op de Veluwe zijn ook behoorlijke hoogtes, wat dacht je van de Posbank ;) Veel plezier met je nieuwe fiets. Lieve groet,

  14. Chic chic, so ganz in Weiss!
    Was ist ein Schwinn-Bike? Ist das der Hersteller?
    Ich hab' auch nur eine 3-Gang-Schaltung und mein Rad ist inzwischen schon relativ alt und in lilac. Teilweise mit Alu, damit es nicht so schnell rostet, da es häufig draußen steht. ;-) Schaut trotzdem schon shabby aus. ;-)
    Hügelig ist's bei uns auch, obwohl man uns flaches Land nachsagt. ;-) Je nach Kondition steige ich schon mal ab, aber meist geht es. Bin aber jetzt mehr zu Fuß unterwegs als per Fahrrad, da es mir um diese Zeit auf dem Rad zu kalt ist. Ein Hollandrad hatte ich früher auch mal, das war auch recht schwergängig. Meine Kinder, wie überhaupt die jungen Leute, haben meist 10 oder 15-Gang-Räder ;-) und wollten mich auch immer dazu überreden. Aber mir reicht mein altes Rad. So sehr weite Radtouren mache ich ohnehin nicht mehr aus Zeitmangel dafür.

    Liebe Grüße aus dem sonnigen Germany
    Sara

    1. Liebe Sara,
      Ja, Schwinn ist der Hersteller und ein sehr grosser hier in der USA. Die Preise sind viel niedriger als unser Rad aus den Niederlanden. Ja Alu verwendet man damit es nicht zu schwer wird. Rosten tun unsere alten aus den Niederlanden ja auch nicht da die sehr gute Qualität Chrom sind.
      Lieber Gruss,
      Mariette

  17. Oh that's a nice bike! I noticed Georgia is very hilly. Places in Florida and Japan where I lived before was pretty much flat so it was easier to ride the bike. 7 speed must be very helpful. Enjoy your ride :-)

  18. Wat leuk Mariette! Toen ik de post las, dacht ik aan zo´n oude Schwinn fiets, maar ik wist niet dat ze ook nu nog fietsen produceren.
    Veel fietsplezier!
