It's inefficient, it's heavy, it's overly complex, it's fragile, it's hard to maintain, it's hard to get moving (apart from when you don't want it to), it's hard to stop, it's uncomfortable, it's noisy, it's unsafe, and it depends on ephemeral technology (mobile phones and cloud services) for core functionality.
It's the anti-bike.
