It is the curve that generates the lift ,that being a differential pressure on either side The bike you have built would generate far less side lift than my original drawing .My idea would have a lower overall drag but the forces from side winds would be far higher.The entry areas you use and which will have to use I think reduce the lift from the curved sides .

I'd love to know why Allert works so well!
