I bought one of these as a gift, when delivering it, it was hard to tell it was there. When we took it out the following night for a test, it swallowed a dozen large library books, couple of sacks worth of shopping, and a medium large pumpkin. Only comment was that she could feel a little extra wiggle when getting out of the saddle. I've since used it shopping, and that is where it excels. On the second trip out, the foam on the handle grip split, and fell off. I would think that this is a weak point, but it's easily fixed with a bit of handlebar tape. The comment on wind resistance is interesting, I haven't taken it on a long ride yet , so... maybe. Nicely made, touch pricey, but worth it for around town and shopping trips. May do well on some touring trips.
