English Velomobile Commuter

Some time ago the BBC did a report on Ian Fardoe and his home built velomobile for the Midlands Today program.  The clip is available via Ian’s Youtube channel below.  At the time he was using the velomobile to commute to work, a 12 mile round trip according to the reporter.  The tone is very positive and it is interesting to note the distinction made with the infamous Sinclair C5!

Ian has since upgraded to a Quest from Velomobiel.nl and a couple of driver’s eye videos from his daily commute are shown below.  There is visual commentary superimposed on the video and at one point he highlights his speed as 54 mph based on GPS data!

Much of the following video is played back at high (x 4) speed which distorts the true sense of speed.  It is none-the-less of value as it illustrates a range of different UK roads over which Ian commutes.

UPDATE:

Here is the video Ian refers to in his comment below:
