50lbs is a lot, but as long as the pack is well adjusted, and has a hip belt, it should be okay, what you don't want to have happen is for the load to be able to shift side to side, as that could cause balance issues.
Wog... and the rest of the backpackers....
How is this guy going to stop if he has to STOP, as in right now! right
away! STOP! The answer is he can't.
The answer is he can't anyways because if he did he will be going over the handlebars with or without backpack.
He's got too much weight high and
too much weight on him to manage the bike if circumstances demand an abrupt maneuver.
I used to deliver newspapers (the old days). A fully loaded bike, even with balanced front and rear baskets is a bear to manage when the dog runs you, or the car gets in your way, etc... but a 50 pound backpack... COME OFF IT.

An abrupt stop .
