Yes and no. Depending on the bikes geometry, where the weight is
located makes a big difference.
My high trail, short chain stay Spectrum rides beautifully with just
me on board, rides pretty well even with a weekend load in a large
saddle bag. Anything over 4 lbs or so in a handle bar bag makes a
noticeable difference.
Sure; and take that same Spectrum, put a light rear rack on it and then
put a trunk-rack type bag on there with 5 lb or so and you'll get a
great demonstration of what "tail wags the dog" feels like, too.
(Curiosly, felt far worse than 4X that weight in panniers on the same bike.)
