And you're so excited you missed a "w" from "www." in your link

Looks fantastic - like a 1950's idea of a "car of the future"!

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

I like that. It looks like a very well thought out machine. I hope you'll get on well with it.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Like a lot. Hope it will be practical in our weather.

 

[Peteaud]

That does look uber cool.

 

[mickle]

Very nice!

 

[fossyant]

Wow. Cool or what. Showed my lad and his jaw dropped.

A good piece I'd Danish engineering you have there

I spoke to a guy in Belgium who has one but he said they are loud inside, so he wears earplugs. He also said it gets vey hot in the summer.

I would like one but don't have the parking space.

oh wow that looks so much fun to ride (drive?), hope you have many happy miles together

 

[TheDoctor]

*likes*
And, indeed, *wants*
I've ridden many things, but a velomobile eludes me so far. They do look like cracking fun!

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

That looks like my worst nightmare!

Claustrophobia hell

 

[coffeejo]

It looks like great fun ... on the flat.

 

[StuAff]

Fancied one ever since I saw Andy A's loaned WAW (before his now sadly deceased RAW version was delivered), and did a bit of research. Fast on the flat. Faster downhill. Uphill just a case of spinning your way up (you're not going to fall off....).

 

[Scoosh]

a velomobile - and I've never even ridden a trike ... yet ...

Great write-up too, AH.
Thanks.
