Unfortunately, they include the 1960's Spacelander bicycle as an example
of good design! See

I took one for a brief test ride many years ago. MoMA's standards are
certainly far different from mine. It's hard to imagine a heavier,
clumsier rattletrap of a bike. Heck, I'd prefer that Fiat 500!
But then, the rest of the exhibition seems to glorify the 1950s and
1960s as an era of "good design." Weird.
