I would like to clarify a misconception that may have been left per Mayf's
comments on the book review. The book is about vehicles aerodynamics and not
bicycles as Mayf implied. The reviewer is Nick Demma, evidently a human
powered advocate with a picture of his streamliner bicycle at the top of the
review. Even though Nick makes a comment about streamliner bicycles drafting
and passing during a race, the overall tone of the review is about vehicles.
Check the contents of the book and you may find it very interesting. -Elon
