You'd be lucky to say "Yikes!" after a fast stop.

Has the same center of gravity and leverage problem as the 1800's bikes
with the large front wheel. Brake that wheel and the mass rotates around
the axle slamming your face into the blacktop.

Yeah, would have done better to put the dinky wheel in front.
Wouldn't make a difference around here, you'd be ass-deep in a pothole
within a block, head-up OR head-down. And how's its snow-drift-
bucking performance, anyway?
