I wonder if canopy means what I think of it as -- one of them foreign
words that means windshield. But even if you mean something BIG, like
the big window on the front of the Flatfire, try www,bikescreens.com.
The company is Gustafsson Plastics, in St. Augustine, Florida, and they
do windscreens (as they call 'em) for darn near everything, cars and
bikes and who knows what else. I had them make one up for me, to my
specs. Decently short delivery time, and $100 was all they charged. I
just measured -- it's 3.5 mm thick - I suppose you could get anything
you want. The guy's name is Leif Gusatfsson, and you'll believe it if
he tells you he's Swedish.
I heard about him from another racer. Pass it on. . .
