this is easily replicable at least to unsuspecting people, try it at a party sometime it’s fun. Most people, like here, get the outline correct - wheels, handlebars, saddle are generally positioned correctly - everything else is a mess.

C is an odd case here because it seems to include a rear derailleur, the fork, the double rear tubes but the pedals are kangaroo mode and everything else is bananas
I’m not surprised? It’s like when in drawing faces you’re taught to place the eyes at the middle point of the head, not three-quarters up the face. Conceptually we overestimate the size of interesting facial feaures, and shrink the others, so we don’t give as much space to the forehead and hair (which occupies half of the head) causing the proportions to be thrown off. We look at faces all day but can’t consistently place them (across people) without training, recall or good observation skills.
How does this happen? How does someone who sees bicycles at least once a month fail to draw one?

Nice! I have tried it with friends!
The guy who drew it correctly is one of those people that you already know will draw it correctly. It was a fun confirmation.
this soooo Italian in the best way
