- Those bicycles are used in competitions, right? Besides that, do you use it in a regular way to go to work or to commute?
Yes, there are velomobile competitions, but their main use is for commute. Velomobiles are great for distances of -roughly- 15....35 km (so 30....70km ida y vuelta), especially when most of that distance is in the countryside. They are not very handy in cities, though.
- Do you know how many velomobiles there are in The Netherlands?
Probably a few thousand.
- and if there is any norm, rule, or law under which they have to be used?
They are regarded as normal bicycles, with one exception: they are also allowed on the road, meaning that velomobiles can chose to take the bicycle path OR the road.
