It is warming up in Texas and I have my velo sealed up so well I am not getting any breeze. I looked at my top visor and it kind of looks like a scoop so I drilled 3 big holes to let some air through. That wasn't enough so I designed an air deflector down by the road. I am holding it in place with tape for testing and will probably put in Velcro to allow adjustment
I am going to make a Velomobile. I have built 5 different recumbent trikes. Now I am going to take one of my trikes and build an airodynamic shell around it to make a velomobile. Here is the official definition of a velomobile. Velomobile: A velomobile or bicycle car is a human-powered vehicle, enclosed for aerodynamic advantage and protection from weather and collisions. They are derived from recumbent bicycles and tricycles, with the addition of a full fairing (aerodynamic shell).
