Absolutely. A technically correct bike is very hard to draw in SVG without going overboard in details

There's a research paper from the University of Liverpool, published in 2006 where researchers asked people to draw bicycles from memory and how people overestimate their understanding of basic things. It was a very fun and short read.
It's called "The science of cycology: Failures to understand how everyday objects work" by Rebecca Lawson.
