I agree, this fashion for racks on the front is all very well, but most of the time carrying heavy stuff on the back is a lot easier. In my experience. The load size is restricted by the bars and it messes with the steering. Fine for bikes with the right geometry, I guess.
Also, fitting a rack yet no kind of hand brake is silly^2 (#262)
