Which is faster a velomobile or road bike?

A velomobile is generally faster than a road bike on flat terrain, but a road bike is generally faster on hills and curvy roads.

Velomobiles are recumbent bicycles that have a streamlined body and wheels that are covered by a fairing. This design reduces aerodynamic drag and allows velomobiles to reach higher speeds than traditional bicycles.

On the other hand, road bikes are lightweight and have a high gear ratio, which makes them ideal for climbing hills and accelerating quickly.

Additionally, road bikes have a more upright riding position which allows riders to generate more power and have better visibility.

Ultimately, the best choice between a velomobile and a road bike depends on the individual's needs and preferences, and the specific terrain they will be riding on.
