Okay. I was thinking about the chain pulling the wheel sideways. I
thought that the big handle bars were to counteract that. 

Such a bike with understeering. The seat a lower. Foldability. Could be
nice. The derailleur will be suffering though. I googled for BEVO, they
used an extra roller to handle the stress on the derailleur.

Self centering with shopping cart wheel position. Sounds like this bike
will want to go straight.
