I figure this guy is probably still resting up from that typing marathon back in 2006........

at least 2 or 3 times that Ive done a week long supported tour, a guy with a velomobile has participated. This was the only time that I have seen one in person, and have climbed past him on hills, and listened to him whistle past me both on downhills and on straights.

they certainly are pretty fricken cool machines, and really damn fast, but no matter Mr Longform typer wrote, they would have all kinds of issues for touring.

but again, they are really really neat, and rather fascinating to see in person, cuz lets face it, they are exceedingly rare.

If had all the money in the world, I would have one, along with a fatbike and a Pennyfarthing. (at least I have ridden a Pennyfarthing)
