[Christ]

What's wrong with using your foot to hold you up? Riding boots are water proof, and you if you're riding in rain, you can easily put on a pair of ankle aprons so that you don't get water down your boot tops.

I'm not so sure what you meant by the "linear" comment... bikes in general are linear, and all the ones I've ridden tend to stop in a straight line, too.

So what's that mono going to help when you hit a pothole at high speed, bend your front rim, lose control of the bike, and as it falls, you start getting bounced around like the boy in the bubble during a bully beatdown? Just think, instead of your aptly designed clothing slowing you down in the event of a slide, you're stuck inside a fiberglass and plexi bubble that has a slippery, glass like surface, which will continue to slide much further than your scrawny human body will, eventually striking something with great force, causing you to stop suddenly against whatever it hit, possibly flinging shrapnel at you from the broken fiberglass, and probably killing you due to the sudden deceleration of your helmet hitting whatever had enough of a hold on the earth to stop the bike after a good slide.

Sure, that's probably worst case scenario, but even at low speeds, that thing won't let you bail out too easily if something were to happen, like an electrical fire.
