I got a tinted fairing on my bacchetta bella (lwb) to protect lower legs from sunburn but it did add 5km/h to my exercise run and keeps my feet dry in the rain so its a keeper. Your wife is an impressive rider.Great vid, thanks for sharing,
how are you +your preaty wife doing i want to say you make really good video i like that new fairing on there look real nice what does it do could you tell meyou both have a safe ride enjoy
Hi Madame ;) I am not so sure about the egg above your head. I don't think the helmet was really inteded to be worn like that. Maybe it won't protect you like it should. Take care.
Displaying ride data on the video is a two step process: 1. Capture Your Metrics During The Ride - track your ride and record your metrics (eg time, gps position, cadence, gps altitude etc) using any device capable of producing a gpx file (or similar) eg garmin or smartphone (I use my Microsoft Lumia 1520 smartphone with free Endomondo App, other cycling software eg Strava etc should also be able to do this, ditto for Android or iOS devices). I typically only measure time, speed and GPS location, the GPS altitude data seems to vary wildly and is therefore not so useful. Also, if you use a Garmin (or similar) with a cadence sensor you can display rpm/tacho gauge as well etc. You can display pretty much any metrics that you can capture ie position, distance etc too eg odometer, moving map etc. Anyway, the key point is to first capture all the metrics that you want from your ride in a gpx file. 2. Make Video Overlay - use video overlay software to use/make/customise gauges like a speedometer etc (I used Dashware software and edited the gauges to suit). Import your GoPro video and your gpx metrics file into the video overlay software and then time synchronize the two (I use a noticeable feature in the video to aid synchronisation eg a 90 deg corner or hairpin where you can see direction change clearly over a very short period of time). It is important to not have many time discontinuities in either the raw video or the metrics or synchronizing becomes too painful to work out ie don't turn your video on/off a lot during the ride, ideally leave everything recording even when stopped and sync'ing become easiest. Once you are happy with your speedo gauge overlay etc, then export the combined video (complete with speedo overlay) ready for cutting and further video editing if needed or upload to TH-cam. I have a few other trike videos posted, in this one (Old Noarlunga To McLaren Vale, South Australia - Recumbent Trike Ride ) I've used a map and GPS position marker in a small overlay window to display the trike's position on the map throughout the ride - this position display process may be of interest to you also? The video overlay process may seem a little complex but it is actually pretty easy once you do it. :) Anyway, I hope this info is helpful..... Happy trails and all the best.
its me again how do you get on +off your trike with that on there does it lift up let me no ok thanks alot you better go catch up with your wife have fun
We ride around Adelaide in South Australia. Terrain varies from the flats of the City and beach to the Adelaide Hills which you might have seen if you watch the Tour Down Under on TV, each January.. Bye for now
Yes, 20" is more versitile I think. Open for debate. I've tried both. Some say the larger wheel 'rides smoother' but the 20" may be wider which helps with soft sand/ground. 20" is a lower gear (all other things being equal). Easier to get higher gear inches if you want speed on a 20" than get lower gear inches (if you want to climb) on a 24/26"... I'm happy on 20". Cheers,

that fairing looks so nice on your trike you allmost got me talk in to one for my trike good video besafe
Thanks for the thorough explanation!
Reckon the fish shaped parachute had something to do with the lower speed of Mrs's trike!
Willunga hill on South Road would have been a great place to compare a before and after fairing test.
Belo vídeo, lugar lindíssimo; esse triciclo é um sonho.... Deus os abençoe!
how are you +your preaty wife doing i want to say you make really good video i like that new fairing on there look real nice what does it do could you tell meyou both have a safe ride enjoy
i think that was a vary good video even no i seen it before i love your faring how do you likee your faring

how did you get the speedometer to work with the video? was it a plugin?

Are the benefits of the fairing worth the cost? I'm thinking hard about getting one to block the wind during cooler months.
o i see your useing km do youvkm all the time or just on trips
does your fareing go up and down for getting on + off it
its me again how do you get on +off your trike with that on there does it lift up let me no ok
thanks alot you better go catch up with your wife have fun
do you put your speedodemeter onmiles or km
Have HP Velotechnic Scorpion FS20-suspect you do too. Would like to correspond if possible? Are you on Facebook?
As of Oct 2015, I'm thinking of selling this fairing if anyone in Australia is interested?
26" or 20" ?
20" (lower gearing suit my area/usage). All the best.
Wheel of 20 "is more versatile? What kind of area is it where you run ??
