If it bothers you, just imagine I'm 5' tall and those wheels are 24" ...

On a more serious note: those cranks don't feel too bad when riding. Different, but also kind of familiar, to be honest. The downsides are the lack of ground clearance and the mad toe overlap. It's really hard to not scratch those toe clips when walking with the bike, and slow cornering has suddenly become a much more thrilling experience.
