This bike should even ride nice with a frame mounted front rack or basket.
Jan Heine is the editor of Bicycle Quarterly, and in the Spring 2011 edition he had an unfavorable review of the Surly BD. One of the comments was the wheel flop, and he suggested the geometry of a longtail should be the same as a tandem. So if Atlas took his advice, this is perhaps the best handling longtail on the market!
