It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Fairings on trikes aren't new, yet they're not as bad as discussed here. Yes, you're still exposed to the outside. But no, you're not getting drenched in the thing. There's quite a bit of wind protection and a reasonable amount of rain/snow protection. It's like a pogie but for the whole body.

I'd link to my local producers of them, but they're on vacation right now. Apparently TerraCycle (https://t-cycle.com/) has joined REI in protesting consumerism this black friday.

HOLY SHIT they have chain by the foot. I've never seen that before. My long ass bike needs 1.7 ish boxed chains. I wish every bike shop did this

Amazing, right? They're a shop oriented towards trike builders. Not only do they have by-the-foot orders for a trike's crazy long chainline, but they offer a la cart parts on their kits! Not just for repairability but also for whatever custom project you'd like to lego together. I've had nothing but good experiences with them. :)
