    I'm a slow rider on a Tour Easy. I love my bike with the fairing, it
    handles better on windy days and goes faster downhill. It makes
    fighting a headwind easier, and really catches the tailwinds , even
    most crosswinds seem to give a little boost.

    Picked up the Zipper fairing late Saturday afternoon Mike.
    (03/29). After a qucik installation, went for a short neighbourhood
    ride and wasn't very impressed. Fiddled about in the driveway, fine
    tuning the installation and it seemed a bit better. Got up Sunday and
    did some more fine tuning, improving each time. Just got back from a
    20k night ride and I am now impressed.

    Seems the first few set-ups were too low on the bike, and
    while I noticed my body wasn't feeling the air, my eyes were watering
    from the airflow over the top. I ended up raising the entire set-up
    on the bike and put a lot more curve/arc to it. Airflow seems to
    clear over my head now.

    Grin, of course now I need to put a chin strap on my baseball
    cap to keep it on my head . . .

    Thanks for your feedback . . . think I'm going to like the
    fairing. Time will tell.
