Interesting fully enclosed bike and trailer

This enclosed ride flew by today!

I want to ride any bike I see with a fuselage built around it. (Or any bike for that matter) I think it would be a blast to see how fast you can get going with your own power in something like this. The design of this one makes me think it has a tail section when not pulling a trailer. Pretty cool! Thanks for posting!

If you could get one for a few grand, rather than the more typical ten grand, I'd buy one.

He was moving in traffic at a good pace and silent, but you couldn’t see him as the thing is less than 3 feet high and no flag pole, I was a bit shocked.

You really need to display a flag on those velomobiles, as they are all based on recumbent cycles.

They used to have enclosed recumbent/ hpv races on the same days as a local criterium series I used to race in. I’ll never forget a watching a guy in a two wheeler who leaned to much into a turn. Helplessly sliding on his side, perfectly up a driveway entrance into a parking lot. He ended up wedged between two parked cars with bystanders than helping. It was epic. Fiberglass body all tore up, scratched up cars, sweating like he was in a sauna and emotions running 110%. I still get a chuckle out of that nearly 20 years later.

If it looked like an old Willys Jeep, yeah...

That thing is hella cool! But with my Claustrophobia no thanks. It looks like something that would sneak up behind you in a pace line and start eating bikes.

I always thought it would be cool to build a body something like that for one of these.
