A bike with mismatched wheel sizes is less likely to be stolen. An nyc trick.

It looks a bit like a proto-cargo approach to loading the front wheel. Makes me wonder a little about pedal clearance with that dropped BB.

It was truly a rare sight to see this bike in the wild. I had to back up my car to take pictures. Is the back wheel bigger than front wheel ? ... or am I seeing things differently ?
