Hey Tom
As a long time trucker, I can see numerous advantages to this design. Imagine the view from the cockpit.
Also, increasing wheel size is the best way to reduce rolling resistance. This advantage would be more than offset however by increased wind resistance, so on second thought, maybe I'll just stick with the more conventional design.

I am going to market parachutes to the riders so they can
descend to safety if they lose their balance.

This looks like just the solution to that pack of dogs that
regularly comes out to greet me on my exercise ride. Those
ISO 2500 mm wheels would just glide right over a shelty
(much to the poor dog's detriment). While waiting for a
traffic light, I could just hang on to the overhead traffic
light fixture ;-) Sure hope they make a folding spare tire
in that size!
