My take (also Gemini 3 Deep Think): https://gemini.google.com/share/12e672dd39b7

Somehow it's much better now.

I’m not familiar with Gemini, isn’t this just a diffusion model output? The Pelican test is for the llm to produce SVG markup.

Yeah, I was so amazed by the result I didn't even realize Gemini used Nano Banana while producing the result.

The point of the penny-farthing is that you drive the front wheel directly with the pedals, but this seems to have the pedals in a spot where they would drive a chain, although there is no chain?
