The Globe has a pretty good article with one of their columnists test-driving (test-biking?) a velomobile.

Read it while you can... content on the Globe's website isn't free for very long:

The next day, I rode through Yorkville, where I pulled up behind a Lamborghini driven by a guy who looked like an oil prince. All eyes shifted from his costly Italian steed to my tiny orange craft. The oil prince's thunder had been stolen - he looked crestfallen, like a man who had managed to seize the attention of a beautiful woman, only to have Brad Pitt stroll up behind him.

It's a good article, with the columnist stating that if the price drops to around $4,500, he'll own one (they are currently about $13,000), and that he really liked how he was markedly different from people who drive SUVs in the city.
