I know I've seen these cool clips of a guy with a fully faired metal
recumbent that weighs about 80 lbs, driving around crashing into
garbage cans and looking like hell on wheels. Does anyone know where
those clips are located, or who it was? Thanks!

Miles of Smiles,
TomA couple of Joe Kochanowski'd fairings have been sheet aluminum.
Others have been cardboard held together with latex house paint.
Joe's nothing if not resourceful.I remember seeing a fully-faired trike at the 1982 IHPSC that was
built entirely from riveted aluminum sheet, aircraft-style. A very
interesting machine.Jeff

Wow, those bikes are totally inspiring, not only for their
massiveness, weight and speed, but because he uses what is at hand.
