I do a bit of both. For commuting purposes on Bleriot, most of the weight is the laptop and files up front, clothes and stuff are behind the seat:

Obviously, steering is different between the Bleriot front load and Atlantis rear load, but you just get used to it. The main difference for me is that out of the saddle, I notice a heavy rear load sways more on the way home from the market than I do the files in front on the way to and from work. Again, no big deal, but it's there. Rick. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
