That Craig Vetter site is pretty cool.

I know NOTHING about working with fiberglass! They do have shells you can buy right from the web site, but they cost $1300

Maybe it's something I will go for in the long run (designing one myself, that is)

My dad has been working on wooden canoes, so he at least has fiberglass materials for doing such a project.

I can't believe how much wind resistance there is on a cycle at 45 mpg!!!!
