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?
