So are you putting pressure on your wrists with your wrists bent at an angle while typing? I think this is totally awesome in principal, but isn't that basically asking for some carpal tunnel issues?

It's kind of hard to tell from the photos and videos though which are both at weird angles.

I would also be worried about putting pressure on other body parts (groin area). This is a nice idea, but I'm not sure if a racing bike is right for it - the lean-forward posture minimizes drag while cycling, but that's of course irrelevant here. So a bike with a more upright sitting position, or even a recumbent bicycle, might be better?

That! Moving your legs to avoid sitting all day seems fine but putting yourself in an unergonomic position like on a road bike seems counter productive. Your neck and lower back will probably tighten up badly over time.
