Is not the strongest way of connecting two wheels together a stiffer narrower truss rather than two larger tiangles. If the rider doesn't need to sit down. Hence the design of motor trials bikes, bicycle trials bikes and some BMX racing bikes that are designed for standing riders.

So arguably some of these none large triangle or space frame designs are stronger when standing?
