The main problem I had (on a Dutch 'city bike') was my knees and arms being forced outward. Handling
wasn't that much changed, because you're NOT riding near as hard as a regular ride.

And on the Gazelle, I was sitting pretty upright. Mostly just tooling down to the store.

I still much prefer a trailer, though.

This attaches to the seat post and head tube. The bar carrying the seat is a hunk of channel stock
that runs parallel to the top tube. The seat is easily removable leaving the support bar in place.
