[python] Re: faired Python

Hi,
Jürgen, you should know better. Wasn't it you who blamed all the people who said that a python-kind of bike would be unrideable ? 

Now, let us see. Im shure there are many more Ideas than mine.
And a soft shell fairing seems to be a good answer to the question how to wrap a center steered bike.
I would try to do a seperate front and back part and use the ability of the material to bend at the inside of the turn and let the to pieces slide apart at the outside. 

Rhisiart, pleas allow just one question: How many wheels has your bike ?

Greetings from sunny Germany, spring just arrived these days here,

Siwmae Jurgen!

I know, I know. But.....
Some of the most competent pioneering people in the current re-flowering of bike culture have been saying for a while that a rideable FWDRWS is simply not practicable. But then along comes Dennis Renner, who evidently hadn't heard, and shows us his videos. You never know.
Anyway, it's too wet and cold here in the Winter to be without some kind of faired velo, whether Python or not, single track or three. And besides, I have a few ideas. And I promise if it's a fiasco, like Erik Wannee I'll post pictures and accounts of my total failures. Till then: cards close to chest. I have a few months before the weather gets uncomfortable again. I've just gone through this past Winter biking everywhere on a completely unfaired bike with just breathable waterproofs. But I'm damned if I'll ever run a car again. That's definitely finished for good. So, what's to lose? Gotta try!

Hello Rhisiart and Jérémy,

are you talking of a faired two- or three wheeler?
The first one will not work at all and a faired python trike is also not the best idea, because the fairing cannot be hinged to the moving front part. Better not to waste time and material on this ... 

Cheers,
Jürgen.

I said it once, and I won't get tired to say it again:
