I've got an omnium mini, its my daily bike - my kid sits on the rack on the front on the school run, and I use it to get shopping etc so i don't need to drive the car.
If you put A LOT of weight on the front, you get a bit of a shimmy at high speeds, last week I had a cast iron bench on the front (in pieces) and it didn't like it, but was very heavy.
Everyday riding is great - the short wheel base reminds me of my polo bike, endo turns are a piece of piss.
