Are you ready for the Aerorider where you live?

I've got a "tadpole" style trike that these things are usually built around (tadpole = 2 parallel wheels in front, instead of back). I've been a bit interested in these, but they are a bit expensive. I've been interested in finding a more affordable enclosure for the whole thing, though, as I've seen a few that are lighter and look more affordable. One person in Redmond, WA drove one of these at my office (or in the parking lot where I'd always see it). I think it'd be a really handy thing and might push biking more towards others who are still not as willing to look at alternative methods of transportation. I was really interested in these, but have fallen back into the standard upright bicycles as my main transportation. I guess that honestly, they aren't really that expensive as many road bikes cost as much (well, the real high-end composite/carbon fiber sub-10-15lb. frames). The comfort of a roof over your head might tempt more people, though, so it's a great idea! I'd also love the increased carrying capacity of throwing a few bags of groceries in at once!
