Hi there.
Forgive me for my ignoance of all things recumbant, but isn't the
chainring guard in the first picture above mounted on the *wrong* side
of the chainring? Or is it just to prevent injury when crashing into
someone in front?
Also, would a wicker fairing have a smooth enough surface to encourage
laminar air flow?
Cheers, Andy
