Nobody responded to the bike windshield and umbrella, but would the windshield, which increases the surface area, increase aerodynamics with overall lower drag? It reminded me of Mythbuster's bubble bike, which I believe that I shared before:

Results: Without the aerodynamic shell that transformed it into the so-called "bubble bike," the motorcycle achieved 56.1 miles per gallon, but it ranked second-highest for carbon monoxide emissions and third-highest for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen of all the vehicles tested during the show. The aerodynamic shell increased the bike's fuel economy to 70.9 miles per gallon, but its carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and oxides of nitrogen emissions remained stubbornly high.

This only covers the top front, not the wheels, and we know the back is more important, but I am still curious.
I wondered when I saw one of those child seats that goes on the top bar, but nobody had a sleeping bag strapped to their handlebars, although I don't know how it is positioned.
I saw a rubber attachment for your handlebar stem multiple places because at least a couple of us are worried about hitting that.
I wouldn't want a child to hit it, either!
That is a tandem recumbent trailercycle?
I approve of the giant curved trailer arm, but is it designed to accommodate panniers? It would be easier on the rider, lower the center of gravity, and increase aerodynamics, right?
I don't know how much you can increase the aerodynamics of a bike for four...
Recumbent cycles came up in my search, but I couldn't find recumbent trailercycles for recumbent bikes.
