O ya sure,, that's probably why they invented it. But really, coudn't other racers chuck things at your face if you were on the back. IT might be better to get a tomato on your fat or notfat ass than on your fat or notsofat FACE. right. maybe I'm wrong.

What about for rallying with a cycle instead of a rally-car?

No space for music player.

Isn't a mango a fruit, I thought that a fruit was going to be chucked and would've gone flying right into the face of the first opposed-recumbent cycle because the rear admiral is sitting with his face to the back, hey isn't that a design flaw. I just pointed out a design flaw. People could chuck things to cause sabotage and distraction to the first guys. whatever, why would they call a velomobile a fruity anyway? Another flaw.

Wow! why have an automobile when you can break the speed limit on a velomobile? Don't the high end models cost about 10,000$?
That looks like so much fun! Where was that filmed and in what club? I'd like to go around a circuit like that in my homemade Electric bicycle :D

The track was Zandvoort, a former Grand Prix auto race track near Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Our club, the Dutch Association for Human Powered Vehicles, was able to use it for two seasons, but it was too expensive to continue after 2006, and the annual Cycle Vision HPV races have moved to a bicycle race track near Schiphol airport.

The Netherlands is a great place to use a Human powered vehicle. After all, You're home to the finest Velomobile manufacturers in the world no? :D

....and some of the fastest velomobile riders in the world! Ymte Sijbrandij rode 150 kilometers in 3 hours on this race track (averaging 30 miles per hour on a hilly, curvy course for the whole three hours). It's the sort of excitement that led to us joining the NVHPV, even though we live some 6700 kilometers away.
