I would start with the wheels; pretty easy to do with flat coroplast. Make a disc for each side and zip tie them on. You can definitely do the back wheel; the front might make it harder to handle so you'll have to experiment to find what you're comfortable with. A full fairing might be beyond the scope of your materials, but you can fill in the frame and make some sort of tail. The lower you can get the front end, the better, since you're the highest drag part of the bike-rider system.
