Does the distribution of total weight between a bicycle and its rider matter?

Never ride with a backpack ! That's dangerous, Ideally 1/3 of of your body weight should be on the saddle, 1/3 on the handle bars, and 1/3 on the pedals. Also get yourself a good helmet, a pair of gloves, and a rear view mirror, they just might save your life !
