I also don't know how they could sit, have their legs that far up and forward, and still be able to pedal, and reach the handlebars without interference.

This is a bike to put in front of a physics 1 class and say, "What is wrong with this picture? List every design aspect that is wrong."
I would have loved to see the builder ride it for all the reasons you point out.
