And I like the idea of keeping a laptop bag securely within reach rather than on a pannier on the rear wheel. But the solution is over complicated.

Alternatives include:
1). Standard step through frame with clip on split-crossbar rack for laptop bag. Maybe different widths are available to suit storage vs cycling style.
2). Frame bag that clips on to regular crossbar. And you just pedal slightly to one side…
3). Offset crossbar, why does laptop bag have to be supported/restricted by split cross-bar? Just set single crossbar to one side and clip bag on inner side so rider can center themselves.
4). Regular bike but with offset seatpost moving saddle an inch or two to one side so a regular frame bag on a regular crossbar centers between riders legs. Does that make sense?

Isn’t this something one would learn in Design 101?
