I didn't say it was good journalism, just a seemingly good assessment of what a velomobile might be! Though I'm not sure whether detailed information is really what a story like that wants.
True enough. The article's done its job by the time you've clicked on it.
While explaining what a velomobile is might take time and effort, you'd think that velomobile.nl would be happy to share one of the diagrams of the internals from their website in exchange for a link, which would go a long way to satisfying readers idle curiosity...
Personally I'd go for "A tricycle that's fast and shelters the rider from the elements", rather than bringing cars into it, but it's probably fair to say that I know a lot more about velomobiles than the Ipswich Star.
Anyway, that someone parking a Quest in Ipswich makes the local paper just goes to prove that recumbents are invisible.
