Velomobiles are fast


Impressive speed on these Quest velomobiles. The winner of the 25K race, Ymte Sijbrandij, averaged just under 57 km/h. I've pushed the Mango up to 55 km/h on a flat, but that took some serious huffing and puffing.

It looks like they're going quite fast. And they are, passing the unfaired riders. Then, at 2:55 another Quest goes right on by the camera velo. Wow.

I'm looking forward to attending my local time trial series with the Quest next year. ;)

Yeah, I noticed that. Crazy. The Quest seems quite a bit faster than the Mango, but I like the smaller size of the Mango for city riding.
