I've asked at Medela's in The Netherlands, but they don'thave them either (nor
does Belgium), but will consider importing them if there is sufficient interest.

I like this analogy, for I have done my part of spinning myself. It is very
soothing and I think it is the rythmical tapping of the foot that gets trough
the whole body. It's makes you huming and singing or telling stories; all very
basic. I'd love to try a foot-pedal pump, although I'm years beyond having any
milk to pump.
