Most Americans have never seen one before. When Stephen Mosca takes his out on the street, he says he's treated like a mini Mini Cooper.
A velomobile guarantees you protection from rain, sun, and even cold, but you still need to pedal. Because underneath the aerodynamic shell that gives it the sleek look of a minicar lies a recumbent bicycle.
The fairing (shell) not only helps protect drivers against the elements (and even collisions to some extent) but creates an aerodynamic advantage that makes it one of the fastest bicycles on the road.
Mosca bought his first velomobile about ten years ago when he was looking for something that would protect him on his daily commute. Today, he pedals the 15 miles to work in a full business suit with his briefcase and morning coffee tucked in alongside.
