I just thought it would be harder than heck to steer! Handlebars are widely spaced, and it seems a steering wheel would be very difficult to control. Add to the fact that you'd have to take one hand completely off the wheel to apply the brake (?#@!), whereas on a regular bike you would have a pedal actuated brake, or a handbrake on the handlebar, so you would always have both hands on the handlebar.

Wow, this one looks like it took some kahunas to ride.

But in all honesty, with a gearshift on the center bar, an automotive-like steering wheel, maybe a pair of redline tires, perhaps the rear tire being a pie-crust sidewall slick, this would have been the envy of the neighborhood.
