I was waiting for the doctor ( just under three hours ) and had some time to look over the magazines there.
The headlines on the cover said " worlds fastest bike ".
But it was a
bicycle not a HPV ... and not the Velox3.
I was just wondering why it is that so much effort and expense* go into improving the aerodynamics, when a simple fairing would cut the drag in half !
Why spend over ten times the cost of a standard bicycle frame, shave your legs to cut drag, etc, when a simple piece of bent cardboard would drastically reduce drag ?
( *the bicycle costs $
12,000 dollars 
! )
