Windshield is an interesting thing, I also tried to set it to a different position to get better airflow around me, but it didn't help (but at least it looked stupid ). My position is upright too, but I may not be tall enough to function as a parachute: the turbulent airflow goes right on my helmet (at/above my shoulders and neck), making faster rides pretty noisy (another good motivation to go slower ). And Teresa's 'head' has a pretty bullet shape.
