Aerodynamics and Speed

                                      Part of becoming a “bike manufacturer” meant showing off your wares. Putting them on display in competitive situations. Because
                                      the LandSpeeder recumbent bike was supposed to be a performance machine, what better way to show it off than to enter it in
                                      the World Speed Championships. But that would mean creating a super-sleek fairing to make the LandSpeeder slippery. So, we
                                      did that. I’ve always been fascinated with designing and building car bodies so the idea of creating an ultra-light bike fairing was
                                      a great challenge and made for many fun moments and stories. And then we went to Indy and raced on the Speedway!  – DW
