The velomobile featured in the American Randonneur magazine
In 2023, Jim Howell, Velomobile World ambassador from the USA, published an article in the American Randonneur magazine on velomobiles and now that article is available also online. You can discover the article HERE, from page 4 to 7.
Jim has done a detailed article with the title “The Velomobile - Curiosity or Contender?“ debating the benefits and advantages of a velomobile, how it is built, people's concerns about velomobiles, comparisons with other types of bikes, if the velomobile can be used in the sport of randonneuring and many many more.

The American Randonneur magazine is published by Randonneurs USA (RUSA), the bicyclist's resource for information about randonneuring in the USA.
Randonneurs USA or RUSA is affiliated to Audax Club Parisien and coordinates and promotes the randonneuring style of cycling within the US. Many cycling events, or brevets, which are organized by local RUSA clubs in the United States are sanctioned by the Audax Club Parisien and therefore can be used to qualify for Paris–Brest–Paris and other long brevets around the world (Wikipedia).
Randonneuring is long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring events, they are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy. Friendly camaraderie, not competition, is the hallmark of randonneuring (RUSA.org).
