i have had a go at building up my shoe rather than the peddle it might need a bit of fine tuning, keep your fingers crossed.
I'm with you with the Quest for a velomobile!
The only problem being, 'they cost how much?!!'
I hear one can get £5000 off the price of an electric car. The bike to work scheme effectively gives one a 1/2 price cycle, upto a £1000 machine.
So why not some government help= getting some of my tax back, and not being asked to pay £1000 worh of VAT, for say a Quest, which will:- reduce my future care/ NHS bill,
lower carbon emissioins,
allow me to be happy, (or less miserable perhaps,)
wave to people as I woooosh by,
talk to people instead of poisoning them with exhaust fumes,
encourage others to go get some exercise cos it is fun,
feel I am missing many important points, but they are not comming right at the moment,
ahh...no, nearly.
Reduce the need for multi million road development programs, more velomobiles, fewer cars. (With a velomobile , we could go from a 2 to a 1 car family.)
Letter has gone to MP. Hoping that instead of spending a few more billion on killing people abraod, the UK could have a higher quality of life.
Contact made with cycle to work scheme, and, "you have to conform to the majority, other wise you are out of luck mate" reply.
Any wealthy benifactors out there? (Feeling hopeful today, and a bit deluded no doubt; need to go out for a pedal to modulate the mental health.)
Would shorter cranks help with the leg length thing? I fancy they might, since they decrease the neccessary stoke lenght.

i have built up the left shoe cleat and put a in sole in it, this has made up about 8mm of the 12mm discrepancy, i will see how it works.
if it is not a tax, vat, fuel duty generating car forget it.
for what was thrown away on the scrap age debacle, some real progress could have been made.

"I hear one can get £5000 off the price of an electric car." that do not realy work as the £7000 battery needs replacing every 3 years
some velomobiles are hybrid human/electric so can they be a electric car?
how many velomobiles, even electric assist could be manufactured for the same energy as making one so called eco electric car that dose nothing to reduce congestion as they are the same size as a standard small car?
i am going to go and have a ride out on the handtrike now then test out the glam-rock cycle shoes! i will report back later.

Yo Cosmio,
my stocks are falling,
there is little growth,
can we see any signs of
RECOVERY or rapture?

Yes, I can see that the dogs in that clip are enjoying the exercise. If it is illegal with dogs in this country, could you try it with half a dozen cats?

Serves you right for being rude about my baggy shorts! It comes to us all. However in this old guy's life not yet, I've just come in from a ride of 17 miles at 11.3mph, same average as the 'Slow/Medium'

Tha's slacking... we did 48 miles on Saturday.
It took all day from 9am until 6.30pm.
There were loads of tearooms and lunch.
Also a forced stop to eat plum cherries from a tree.
The day after was for RECOVERY .
No pain, no gain, we're all feeling your pain Cosmio,
no we're not.

POWWWWWEEEEEEEEErrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
the build up shoe works
picked up ten scalps on the ride today, no granny ring used at all 
attacking the hills was bliss, as i was riding the really punishing one at about the 30mile mark, i was well past halfway up and still powering in to it in top gear 
it is so nice to be symmetrical again 
i was picking bugs out of my teeth after a fast flat aaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggrr cum-on cum-on cum-on aaaaaaaaaaaaa yes yes yeeeeeees,--"this is the bit when i peddle my guts out full on till almost pass-out section, this time i was racing a chav on a mini moto.............i left him for dead"--
"Serves you right for being rude about my baggy shorts!" i was not being rude i think it is very brave recycling old floral sofa covers, not every on could carry it off with such stile and elegance, the insulated pockets capable of carrying a half crate of bishops finger though daring might have been a mistake, the need to put stiffening hoops through the hem of the legs for support ruins the fall of the Roman empire gladiator in kilt effect. plus is a open invitation to wasps

just had a look at the logs for he handcycle, i have been doing 5.3 miles 306ft of climbing minimum most days and a extra 2.3miles 137ft of climbing some days i think i will step this up a bit, i set off from meadowhall on monday handcranking to ride in to the city centre, but only got 2/3rds of the way as they have put wheelchair excluder s on the path they are so narrow i don't think fat people could get through no wonder this excellent and expensive river side path is not really used 
it is supposed to be a national bike path as well.

I have oft found it strange when cakes and biskits are described as "keeps up to a week, in an air tight tin".
I cannot fathom how they work that out. Home maded cakes and biskits are eaten straight away. Or biskits can be dunked if necessary, in a hot beverage.
