Draft behind a recumbent, who may not notice the headwind at all. Or, hunker down on the drops. That's what they're for.

My Ute has a fairing off a 1982 Suzuki.

This bike has been busy lately, carrying gravel, pea gravel, small stones and pebbles, to some local trails that have a chronic mud problem.
