73 degrees is standard road bike, 74 is NBD

  Put your average person on a road bike, and they're going to freak out just a little bit. They're not real stable, comfortable or natural, especially at slow speeds.

    They're actually very stable once you're moving, more so than some other bike geometries and at low speed I can't tell much of a difference. If someone else was used to a different bike design then I can see it might take a bit of adjustment. Once you're used to them they handle better and are more comfortable on long rides than most other bike designs.

Well, yeah, that's what they're made for: the best possible experience for people who know what they're doing. Commuter type bicycles are generally meant to be reasonably comfortable for the less bicycle-oriented.
