Bikes: This list got too long: several ‘bents, an urban utility e-bike, and a dahon D7 that my daughter has absconded with.

The price. There is the reason. I simply cannot afford one.

I am currently looking at the silver bullet shell. However, I will probably build a Coroplast body on my trike.

The trouble is that the homebuilts I have seen pictures are generally either well beyond my skill level, or quite ugly. I went and looked at a homebulders job this summer and I liked it and left with a lot of ideas for how to make a vello work for me.

My main desire has to do with winter condition commuting.
