What's up with the apparently asymmetrical front wheel? How does THAT work?

Quick, somebody get him a glass of water.

It's designed to be ridden on a cycloid road with exactly the right wavelength.

PS-- This picture is obviously a Photoshop fake. I am aware of no urban location in Japan with that few people...

. . . when it's orange, not yellow?

Also, what the heck is that emblem on the disk wheel?

that frame looks awful big for her. She's probably anxious to sell so she can get something that fits.

It looks to me like a commuter bike. The wheel dots are probably sensors for the camera when backing into a parking space. Also, you can see the BB at the 10 oclock and 2 oclock positions which obviously stand for BumbleBee. Probably the H at the bottom is for former emperor Hirohito who was a noted marine biologist.

My kid happened to glance over my shoulder and ask why does that bike have the symbol of the Transformers on the wheel? Apparently he says BumbleBee was one of the main Transformers characters.

I still don't know if there is a reason (other than weirdness) for the hole in the wheel.

Got to put air in the tire somehow...
