This is a very reasonable drawing of a bicycle. It has a solid rear triangle, and forward swept front fork, which is an important detail for actually being able to steer the bike. The drivetrain is single speed, but that's fine, and the wheels are radially laced, which is also fine: both of those simplified details are things which occur in real bicycles.

Reasonable? Sure. Great? Absolutely not.

Let's not move the goal posts here.

...but no crown or any sort of indication that the fork is separate from the frame, making it impossible to steer. Yay.

Sure! Now do the bicycle saddle.
