I bought a bike!I love my bike. We go places. I ride Gertrude (that’s her name) to work, the store, lunch, and many other adventures. We are grand friends.As you can see, Gertrude has a rack (but no basket) so that she can carry stuff. Really, the only thing I need to strap to the rack is my bag – the problem is that my bag is large and I was worried about spills. Thus, I had to bring out the sewing machine and install a zipper.This was difficult.And the results were not perfect by any measure.But it worked. When the zipper is closed, nothing can escape!The end.
