Notice that the drive wheel and drive chain go to the large rear wheel but the front wheels are tiny.The first curb or pothole the 'Carry Bike' runs into will cause it to tip forward and dump the hapless person riding the bike on their head. OUCH!

That's why the carrying rack is included. It will carry the half dead driver home after hitting the curb, or Taro home from Kabukicho.
