Aerodynamics of real-world bicycles

Researching fairings for my electric bike, I ran into this article and learned that fairings might be worse than useless. Who knew? Also, the tuck is the best. That's free! I can do more of that!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
