Headwind

I cycled in yesterday. Had I looked at the wind map showing a 23mph headwind before setting off, I might not have. That "faired recumbent with electric assist" idea is looking attractive. But expensive, and I have a car....
(Power needed to overcome air resistance is proportional to airspeed^2 * groundspeed.)

Outspoken, Arts trike.

I've seen the Outspoken delivery bikes several times recently, including once right on the edge of town by the P&R.
I must try and take up their offer of a test ride sometime. Not that I plan to buy an 8 Freight, but it could be fun to try one.
(Hmm, their website seems to be down. Here's a CCC newsletter article.)

Also the Arts Theatre had a trike with a big advertising board on the back which was stopped not far from work one lunchtime a few days ago - it appeared to be a custom build (very long wheelbase), but the rider didn't know the history. I didn't have a camera with me at the time. (It was advertising The Seafarer at the time, and the rider had leaflets to hand out.)
