A bit of background: back in 2000 or so, I first started the North American Velomobilists Website at www.velomobiles.net. The purpose of that site was and is to provide information for people and make it easier to obtain one. I figured that there were three main approaches to obtaining a velomobile and this is how I arranged the website. One could:
- Buy a commercially available one.
- Buy a commercially built bike or trike and build a fairing or enclosure around it.
- Build the whole thing from scratch.
I haven't been updating velomobiles.net much lately, but I remain convinced that the velomobile has a role to play in how we move ourselves from place to place now and in the future and am working on redoing the website for velomobiles.net and Wildfire HPV, the cycle shop that I started since creating North American Velomobilist which specializes in recumbent bikes, trikes, and of course, velomobiles.
We are expecting the new Steintrikes Interceptor velomobile to arrive in Boston on Wednesday of this week - first one in North America! The Interceptor is based around the Meerkat (Mungo) full suspension tadpole trike built by Steintrikes. (FMI on the Interceptor please visit the
Bike Revolution website)
pedal on!
