[Velomobile] Collaborative VM project

[Trevor Holland]

Well, it seems the list is still alive. I've been looking after
Hypertrike.org, an Open Source,  collaborative velomobile project here in
Western Australia for a few years now.

Not much has been happening as I'm caught up in the mining boom here, and
therefore away from home most of the time ... working what is called "fifo"
(Fly-In - Fly  Out) in the remote North West of the state.

After a few false starts, the body shell is now likely to take the form of
a parallel sided (think flattened cylinder) mid section of aluminium panels
with fibre reinforced front and tail streamlined components.

When finished, these components should be relatively easy to ship anywhere
in the world, there to be asily copied by other collaborative velomobile
enthusiasts.

Which reminds me I must update the Hypertrike website with some photos of
the current progress, before I fly out again. What a new year's resolution.
:)
