Saw this reference to an article from 2008 about a home-built wooden velomobile. This is great news to someone like myself with woodworking skills and aversion to fiberglass.

Today Positive Spin received it's most unique donation yet during our Spring bike collection. A 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 was apparently dropped off at our shop anonymously during the night, and found sitting next to the ever-growing pile of derelict bicycles this morning at opening time. Like many donated bicycles we receive, this vehicle appears to have never been used. Although the stainless steel is a bit dulled the running gear is in excellent condition and the tires show absolutely no wear. Naturally we'll be stripping the guts out of it so we can put pedals in it and show it in parades. What better demonstration of appropriate use of human power! The WVU cycling team has already been contacted about providing the legpower for this unique showcar. Two riders will pedal, the rest will push from the bumper. The car may also be used for VIP transport during WVU football games from Grand Central Station to Milan Pushkar stadium. Football players themselves will be needed for the climb up the hill to University Ave.
