[1] I plan on getting one of these (or a similar velomobile) if and when
I can afford housing with proper storage space.

Neat!

I'd have to be at least a little drunk, but ... since the guy in the
video seems to be, too ... I assume that's a given.

Zu viel Biertrinken!

I thought the way to ride in winter is get a big pile of snacks in front
of you, turn on the tube and relax. ;-)

Is this the German YouTube?

These things always look a lot more fun than they turn out to be. Hey, you
can have that winter snow and I will take that tropical music. In the
meantime, save your thousands of dollars.

Found it.

http://www.leitra.dk/news.php

Unfortunately, flying to Denmark to pick up my 4500 euro bike just
isn't in the budget, and craigslist isn't turning up anything

But it will be mine. Even if I have to build one out of washing
machine parts and plastic garbage cans. Oh yes, it will be mine.

Just the vehicle to have when riding home from one of Amsterdam's coffee
shops.

Here's one I wish I could afford.

The chance of finding a used velomobile outside of Northern Europe is
very slim. The recent drop in the dollar versus the Euro has made
importing anything from CE much more expensive.

But it will be mine. Even if I have to build one out of washing
machine parts and plastic garbage cans. Oh yes, it will be mine.


If you are looking for inspiration to build a velomobile [1] from spare
bits and scrap, check out this web-page:
http://www.outsideconnection.com/gallant/hpv/joe/.

Here is a homemade velomobile starting with a commercial trike for a
total cost of approximately $2900 plus labor:

[1] The generic name for fully-faired human powered vehicles intended
for practical street use.

Or one in Geneva.
