It's an interesting one though. Going back to the lo-pro question on the last page, it does feel like you're overbalanced further forward and are more likely to go over the handle bars as you're leaning forwards so much. I suspect that you actually shift your centre of gravity downwards by a greater proportion than you shift it forwards compared with a normal riding position as you're basically just rotating down around your hips. Counterintuitively this would make it more stable than normal. Don't know if that's actually the case though.
