After two days on my new bent, aside from the wobbles I notice that I am limited in what I can carry without a cargo rack or something. Obviously no backpack, and the bags I have tried to hang on the rear of the seat rub against the wheel unless I hang them from the top tension strap of the web seat backing. My seat does not have an upper horizontal support tube.

I have a heavy duty cargo rack by Burley on my LWB bent. I use a couple of short bungees and one of those rubber stretchy "spiderman" thing on it. I've carried a good bit of grocieries for a few miles from the store, and once picked up 45 pounds of steel blades for my bush hog and rode on to my original destination, then all the way home, about 30 miles. Seems to work well. There are a variety of panniers to hang on them, too.
