Fiberglass Bicycle on Youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udxQXhKn7B4

The Type 9 Fiberglass Ladies Bicycle appears 0:37 seconds into this video:

The Type 9 was designed by my Daughter Mellisa. The Fairing features a "Glove Compartment" style cargo box, which carried my camcorder and spare batteries.

Here is ANOTHER video clip, in which I am shooting video while riding the bike, you can also see the interior of the fairing in this shot, the conductor tells me to put the bike in the first car of the train:

Very cool concept. Reminds me of my car audio days.

I have dug up another video:

This bike is the Type 5, with a Kevlar Fairing.

I found it was easier to videotape the bike while someone else is riding, so I got these volunteers.

This brief video shows the Type 9 in use . The kids wanted to make a music video based on the Musical "Grease":

In case you haven't guessed, I obtained a DVD recorder last week, so I can now transfer my videotape collection to DVD, which in turn fits in the slot on my computer, so I can broadcast the video on YouTube.

Here are the Type 5 AND Type 6, together at the same time. Volunteers are doing the pedaling, so I can stand by and run the Camcorder:

Here is the Type 5 on a downhill run:

This video shows how to install the handlebar clamps of the Type 7A, which serves as a handlebar basket:

Barrier Impact Test- The Type 4 was used for a barrier impact test. The car companies crash test their cars, so I figured I should crash test a Human Powered Vehicle. There is a 70 pound piece of lead (boat ballast) in the fairing:
