Comfort and self expression are a big part of any vehicle purchase. The aero tuck does not need to be uncomfortable if the bike is made to fit the rider. This has been a problem with motorcycles that cyclists have mastered. Frames, seat position, handle bars, stem position, and crank length are all specified to fit a cyclist's proportions. Note that the first thing Craig Vetter did in building the current streamliner was to change the handlebars on the Honda Helix. Sendler found the use of the tank bag took the pressure off the wrists and I found making aero bars from aluminum angle stock gives me a place to rest my forearms comfortably. A heads up riding position gives better visibility but greater cross sectional area to the direction of travel. The range of aero options is wide enough to encompass a variety of riding styles. Some kind of front fairing and a tail piece will fit the bill.
