ABSTRACT:
A bicycle fairing for attachment to the handlebar and front wheel of a bicycle is disclosed. The fairing is constructed of a lower portion having a sheet-over-frame construction and an upper portion having a window therein. The window is comprised of a flexible, resilient pane which is unframed to provide the bicyclist with an unobstructed line of vision. The pane portion of the fairing is secured to the handlebar by a flexible line which prevents the pane from vibrating. The fairing is generally semicircular in cross section and is of such a length that it shields the rider's entire body, from his head to his feet, when is in a crouched position on the seat, from wind, rain projectiles and the like. The fairing is positioned on the bicycle so that the center point of the semicircular fairing is concentric with the vertical steering axis of the bicycle and so that the medial edges of the fairing extend along the sides of the handlebar. This positioning of the fairing alleviates the stability problems caused by the buffeting of the fairing by crosswinds and headwinds.
