Beautiful Borealis Velomobile

Here's a new production shell to mount over a Trice production trike. The paint job is custom and truly a work of art. More pictures at:

Quest Velomobiles now produced in Toronto

Ray at Bluevelo has started delivering a north american made Quest Velomobile

Pictured here with a rain roof & windshield the Quest was developed in the Netherlands. The fiberglass shell provides protection for year round riding as well as great aerodynamics.

Tandem Progress

Here's a picture of the tandem project hanging from the ceiling in my messy basement. There's still a lot of work to do, but it's begining to look like a trike.

Probably the last ride of the decade

It was a balmy 50 degrees today. Not bad for the end of December in New England. I dug the trike out from behind the snowblower and lawnmower and did a loop around the reservoir. Nice easy 7 mile ride. It was a little odd seeing piles of melting snow while riding in a light jacket. Well the weather is supposed to revert back to what one would expect in winter so the trike is stowed back in the garage. I seems like yesterday that we were worrying about Y2K and here it is 10 years later.

I just finished hanging the tandem trike project from the ceiling of the basement to start working on the chain line. The camera battery needs charging so no pictures yet, but soon.

New England Human Powered Vehicle Rally

I finally got around to uploading the pictures off the camera from last weekends Human Powered Vehicle Rally at the Portsmouth, NH Sustainability Fair. As usual I took more pictures of hardware than people. There were some nicely done home builts that I might want to copy. Thanks again to Ethan Davis for organizing the event.

Car Free on Earthday

I had the pleasure of celebrating Earthday with a photo shoot and interview about my velomobile for the New Britain Herald our local paper.

Tasmanian homebuilt velomobile pictures

I recently found this great set of pictures of a homebuilt coroplast velomobile on the BentriderOnline message board velomobile thread. The builder lives in Tasmania, Austrailia, but thanks to the internet we can see the whole process. The pictures document the build and start with the finished product. To see how it was built start at the end and work back to the begining.
