You would if you could. I don't think it's really ridable. Too small wheels is not an aesthetic issue... if you hit a midsized pothole, you go ass over teakettle. Any minor road imperfection will smack you twice as hard. It just doesn't roll over stuff like a 700c does but hits it head-on.
Also, did anyone check where the cranks are? Almost over the rear wheel, waaaay too far back in relation to the centre of the bike. Probably you sit way too far back on the bike, which is dreadful for handling and stability, and the cranks are still too far back under your ass.
Not too fond of the idea of a two-chain double gear system, either.
Aslo, the pedals barely clear the ground... you think cornering or riding beside a bump in the road/curb or indeed hopping a curb would be fun?

Strida with belt drive is where it's at.
