What you say is true, but I wasn't referring to carrying a large payload on one's handlebars- rather a bag just big enough for a bit of food, phone, map, etc. I should have been more specific. Most bikes today are indeed very race-centric, made to go fast, handle snappy, and not much else, but there are still quite a few touring and rando bikes that can hold loads and retain stability just fine.

Whoa... I didn't notice the date of this thread at all. Thank you for pointing this out, and I'll pay a little closer attention to this in the future, as there's really no use in opening these things back up, eh? To be fair, it isn't
quite two years old just yet...
