The Trek shape can be applied to a full body fairing like that of wphamilton but with a nose piece. My cone and waste basket fairing pictured in the bike pic thread improved my easy cruise speed from 10 mph to 15 mph. The fairing should cover from the shoulder to just above the knee. This will cost less than a recumbant and be just as slick. Make sure your brakes are in top condition. See also the recumbent.com forum thread on building an upright racer. The pictures of upright Mike and upright David.
