Bikes: a lowrider BMX, a mountain bike, a faired recumbent, and a loaded touring bike

Anyway, I just wanted to re-submit Mellisa's Idea, that a Bicycle Fairing could have a more rectangular shape, in height and width, especially a Partial Fairing. Our Prototypes are not "Foot Boxes", they are meant for carrying cargo. Mellisa designed the Fairings to carry a 12 pack, of 12 ounce cans. That was when a twelve pack had the cans in 3 rows of 4. I noticed that Pepsi has changed their twelve packs so they are two rows of six. So if you have a problem with drinking, you will just have to drink Beer. Sorry, Pepsi...

In the photos above , the top truck's Spoiler has those grooves in it, like Mellisa's design. I think Mellisa thought of that first.

Maybe I should've posted this in the Utility Bikes Forum, but nah, they are only interested in XtraCycles, and towing Trailers, things that go on the rear of the bike.

But someone could build a really nice , all-weather Velomobile based on a Bakfiets or a Long John type front loading cargo bike. Maybe Fiberglass, maybe Corrugated Plastic?
