A Moulton Linear II bike with a vertical wing full fairing was clocked at 50+ mph.

Back angle is related to frontal area so to reduce drag one needs to lean back as in a recumbent or lean forward as a triathlon or TT bike. The marvelous Vetter Challenge fairings are costly and a bit heavy for a human powered vehicle.
