Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

This whole discussion re front vs rear loading is only being kept going by those who have only tried rear loading, and are sceptical of front without having tried it.

Let’s just leave it eh, their loss.

Can only speak for myself here but a few days ago I just thought "hey what's up with that, I don't get it" and also "these chubby bags right on the bars look pretty shit".
Thanks everybody for taking time and elaborating this, matter of fact I just don't have knowledgeable cyclist-friends around me so happy to learn about stuff here.
I get it now. Still think it looks kinda shit, but I do see the point.

Actually I was frolicking in the sun on my little utility bike yesterday, when after an hour or so my shoulder hurt because I slept weird that night and had a rather heavy backpack on the whole time.
So - you will not believe what happens next - I realised that this little thing is indeed the first bike in my life that actually has a rack in the front - and it might just be worth a shot bungee-cording my heavy backpack on there.
And what do you know - a few kilometers later I was pulling out my water bottle out the top while actually fucking driving and was thinking to myself "ha".

Pretty accurate! the former being cheaper doesn't help.
