Aerodynamic bikes and aero products are definitely “hot” on the market right now. Every triathlete or cycling are always looking for a easy way to faster. It is certainly possible to gain “free” speed with the use of such equipment: to go faster for no increase in effort or fitness.

I come from a history of auto racing - I have worked on Indy cars, pro cups and a myriad of other types of professionally sanctioned cars where millimeters are considered in altering the drag coefficient and making the air flow over or under at a rate of least resistance. Jeff

So I'm currently working at a bike shop and I was drawing out some bicycle designs when i thought that I could probably design/engineer bicycles as a profession some day. Does anybody know what kind of college major/engineering study is usually related to bicycle design/aerodynamic studies? "You can never be too rich or too skinny." -My doctor

You may enjoy my blog article on facial aerodynamics for TT cycling: http://www.sharpenson.co.uk/blog/?p=162 I've also got posted an article on Altitude Training - at home. :)

As your body accounts for up to 80% of the drag on the bike below are some good ways of getting more aerodynamic.
