You're Riding a What?
A velomobile is essentially a bike in a bubble. Most velomobiles consist of a recumbent tricycle enclosed in an aerodynamic fairing or "shell," as some people refer to it as. This shell is usually made from fiberglass or other composites. The fiberglass shell offers aerodynamic advantage over upright bicycles and recumbent bicycles as well as offering protection from the elements and collisions.

This aerodynamic advantage allows one to greatly exceed the limits of a normal bicycle in terms of speed, which is why an average speed throughout the day of about 16-20 mph would be easy for the average person. A strong cyclist can raise that number even higher. Many velomobiles' designs allow them to achieve speeds in excess of 40mph!

Velomobiles are virtually non-existent in the United States. They are used primarily in Europe - but even there, they are rare and attract a lot of attention.
