The sides aren't actually wavy - that's an optical artifact of the covering.

It's hard to judge scale with this bike, but inside it's a drop bar road bike. The windshield is forehead height when I'm in the drops with almost parallel back.
Does your head stick out the top? If it didn't I'd be constantly thinking, "I'm gonna get t-boned, I'm gonna get t-boned,...". Aren't crosswinds an issue? I'd love to see a pic of you actually riding this.
