The Fiberglass Ladies Bicycle appears at 0:37 seconds into this video.

The Fairing has a "Glove Compartment" style cargo box, which held my camcorder and spare batteries.

Photographed at the Roselle Park New Jersey Transit station.

The bike was designed by my Daughter Mellisa and also appears in my avatar:

"Intermodal" means truck trailers on RR flatcars; how appropriate that Mellisa based the bike's aerodynamic design on her Uncle's Kenworth diesel rig.

More video, with volunteers to ride the bike, because I was having the damndest time trying to ride the bike and aim the camera at myself at the same time:

Note: The kids were rehearsing a play called "Grease" , with John Travolta, Olivia Newton John, and a Motorcycle called "Greased Lightning". So the Type 9 stood in as a prop for a motorcycle. At least that's my understanding.
