Are ther any velomobile owners in portland?
What kind do you have and do you have any pictures.
I am looking at the Lieba and thinking it would be
pretty nice in the winter, in Portland Or. for commuting to work.
Any body else out there??

Yes there is three that I know of a WAW, Go-One and I'm building a FAW+. I almost bought a Lieba. But being 37" wide I think that is a bit to much to get into most bike paths. So I past on it. My FAW+ is 30"

I am very interested in investigating the Velo mobile concept, Right now I am feeling a little depressed by the cost of these items via import and I am hoping to find something local, or build something myself.
Currently my favorite design is the sidewinder. Is there a local club or??
Any direction or advise you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
