How to ride in the winter!
See <http://de.sevenload.com/videos/pBHx94k/Leitra-Sport-auf-Schnee>.
[1] I plan on getting one of these (or a similar velomobile) if and when I can afford housing with proper storage space. [1] Ignore opening commercial. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia POST FREE OR DIE! |

Neat! I'd have to be at least a little drunk, but ... since the guy in the video seems to be, too ... I assume that's a given. |

Zu viel Biertrinken! I thought the way to ride in winter is get a big pile of snacks in front of you, turn on the tube and relax. ;-) Chas. |

Just the vehicle to have when riding home from one of Amsterdam's coffee shops.

If you are looking for inspiration to build a velomobile [1] from spare bits and scrap, check out this web-page: <http://www.outsideconnection.com/gallant/hpv/joe/>. Here is a homemade velomobile starting with a commercial trike for a total cost of approximately $2900 plus labor: <http://members.impulse.net/~dms/newfaird.html>.

I'd go with a wire frame for the fairings with some sort of model (or real) airplane fabric covering to keep it cheap and repairable. It must be possible to make a velomobile for way cheaper than $2900. Making a light one might be a different story. Joseph |

What a dopey idea!  Doped aircraft quality Dacron would likely be the best choice. Composite materials (similar to modern tent poles) could be used for the fairing frame. > It must be possible to make a velomobile for way cheaper than $2900. > Making a light one might be a different story. See the Joe Kochanowski's page for construction on a low budget: <http://www.outsideconnection.com/gallant/hpv/joe/>. However, when a mid-level road bicycle is $1500 US, it would be unreasonable to expect to build a similar quality velomobile for anywhere near the same price, considering the greater complexity of the velomobile. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia POST FREE OR DIE! |
