Side-slipping that close to the ground would certainly result in a ground-loop, indeed a bad thing.

The CG is so far back I believe the only way the rear wheel would ever leave the ground is if a strong gust of wind blew the bike over backwards.

Hell, I'd ride one, but I'd use my little brother's bicycle as the donor vehicle. :)

Edit: The angle of attack as illustrated is so high, I'm sure the wing would stall out by then, either causing the wheel to drop or reaching a steady state with the front wheel off the ground.
