How is the aerodynamics compared to riding a road bike. Notice any change in wind resistance and avg. speed? (sorry, messed up on the title, dont know how to change it)

Aerodynamics vary wildly depending on which 'bent model to which you're comparing. My V-Rex is about like riding a typical road bike on the hoods. Add a front fairing and it's like a road bike being ridden on the drops. My lowracer is the equivalent of a 3-man paceline (of riders equivalent to me.) OTOH, some bents actually have more aero resistance than a road bike.
