I like that.  :)

Though I can imagine such vehicles can be rather warm in this sort of weather.

Wow what speed with the answer arallsopp, nice one.

Andrij yes I also was drooling when I saw it  :thumbsup: though given the temperatures I would also be worried about it acting as a mobile sauna.

Any Milan users OTP??

Yep, a Milan. Fast machine! Not terribly easy for day-to-day use though.

This weather is too warm for my Versatile with open roof so I imagine the Milan and other closed VMs are almost impossible.

Milan (and its smaller SL brother) have a removable & stowable hood so can be ridden open. Pretty much essential as the Milan has only one small foothole, the SL none so not much other airflow.

Today I was out in the Velomobile (which turned out to be an excellent choice as I got caught in a torrential downpour and stayed reasonably dry - would have been a drowned rate on the trike) and I passed a German couple who said "look, it's a U-Boat!"
