Greetings Shelly:

David Whitmon initially alerted me to your blog. It's a great read and puts me back in touch with a city I had visited often when in College upstate 30 years ago.

Here's a project you might have heard about: A velomobile tour across the United States in the summer of 2011. Imagine over 40 of those machines David is flying over MV riding from Portland to Washington in 30 days.
All details here: www.rolloveramerica.eu

Maybe you would want to share this with the NYC biking community.


Best, Josef

******************** 

Funny thing about the perception of speed with no motor, I could tell someone that my bike can cruise at 

40 mph

They just laugh ...the public just can't seem to make the connection!

I might as well say it goes 

80 mph!

Wonder if that would get a bigger laugh?

If you don't have the time to roll with ROAM you still have plenty of time to sign up for

My good friend Jim is selling this INCREDIBLE FULLED FAIRED WINDCHEETAH !


The Windcheetah has had a long and illustrious competition career, and many of the developments seen on production Windcheetahs started life as performance modifications on racing Windcheetahs.

Mike Burrows was extremely successful on his own Windcheetah, securing the European HPV Championship on two occasions with his highly modified race machine. The remarkable thing about the Windcheetahs racing success is that the race machines are by and large production based machines that can still be ridden on the road. The majority of racing HPVs are specially designed one-offs with very few concessions to creature comforts.

ROLL OVER AMERICA!

Andy rode virtually non-stop for 41 hours 4 mins and 22 secs, beating the previous record [also held by Andy, on a `normal `cycle] by nearly 4 hours.At times Andy's speed was in the high 70`s [miles per hour] on some of the long descents.
