The xtracycle was designed by a bunch of stanford engineers with grant money so it's evolved a bit ... and to my surprise, stuff doesn't bounce out unless I've paid *no* attention to where I put it. Most of the time groceries are in a bag ( http://www.reusablebags.com/ of course) so it's not as if oranges and sundry gewgaws are trailing me, but it could happen
There are also velcro flaps and pockets for stuff that I don't have a bag for, and a zippered mesh pouch.
Oh, and I am also not the queen of flexibility... but the load's 'way in back and doesn't matter for that.
I got a 36-spoke wheel and disc brakes, so pretty much I'm ready to haul the 250 lbs. the Xtra's capable of ... though perhaps not up hill...
