I keep coming across velomobiles and they are slick and all, but I would find it hard to justify the price when, as a casual user, all you get over a good €1000 bike is some protection from the elements, while also losing a lot of mobility and parking convenience.
I would rather like to see (recumbent) bikes with a cheap nylon-like soft cover against the wind and rain, that would probably shave a lot of the cost going into the body.
- yread 14y agothis looks like the cover is removable http://hasebikes.com/83-1-Klimax-2-K.html http://hasebikes.com/83-1-Klimax-2-K.html
