This machine is propelled by the rider lying in an almost horizontal position. The principal of the Velomobile is to lessen wind resistance and to bring the muscles of the back and legs into action. Velomobiles were introduced in France in about 1933. The original model was a two wheeled machine. The British have produced this 4 wheel model. In the late 20th Century and into the 21st Century Velomobiles are being produced in Germany, Holland, USA and some other countries. There is an ecological movement pushing the use and development of these machines. See www.velomobileusa.com and Goggle `velomobile` for many other websites.
