Even most velomobiles look a lot smaller in person than in pics. Must be a perception of the eye thing where we associate enclosed vehicles as being bigger.
I'm 6-foot-4. Around me, everything looks small. Last year Hans Wessels and Thomas van Schaik came from the Netherlands and rode the Speedhawk in the WHPSC. Hans is 6-foot-7 and Thomas is 6-foot-6. They made me feel right at home.
