Most bikes ride more stable with a heavy load balanced between front and back.

My current bike is a front suspension mountain bike :-/. That means a functional front rack is issueful and expensive. And at the end of the day, it's not meant to carry heavy loads. Add in the pain issues from the flat bar, and it's really starting to look like I should cut my losses. It's just not the right bike for my daily riding.

(yeah, ok *that* is a pipe dream... but we've gotta have dreams
