Velomobiles are expensive. They are recumbent bicycles or tricycles with a fairing (a hard shell) that decreases drag and protects the rider from wind, rain, snow, etc.
Last I checked they were around $5,000 to $10,000 (five thousand US dollars to ten thousand US dollars) but they look kind of great for touring to me. You can find myriad velomobile videos on YouTube.
Flags, pool noodles (yeah, pool noodles), and of course LEDs can make them highly visible.
For commuting the "Rotovelo" looks like it might be a good choice because it seems like it can easily withstand bumps, bangs, and scrapes. See...
