New trunk for revived Schwinn

The revived Schwinn Loop, our folding bike, needs to have a trunk, so I don't need to switch my trunk between my Novara and the  Schwinn.   What can I use for that? 

Well, Mr. WhP lost a good old fishing friend moving away, so his water cooler was resting on the shelf.
Mrs. WhP made a new trunk with Velcro sewed for the Schwinn. 
The trunk's color fit with the Schwinn very well, so I'm very happy about that.  But it's so big, and after I put my bike lock and water bottle it got quite heavy.  

I got exhausted riding 7.5 miles this morning, and I couldn't understand why.  Then I realized it was the weight.

That bike will be a good training bike for me.

Because Mr.WhP searched on Internet and found a special tool and parts with very reasonable price luckily, 

my old folding bike, Schwinn was revived!
So I rode the Schwinn very happily.
I couldn't hear the strange noise which I heard before at all.  And riding was much more reasonable, I thought.

In fact 4 spokes were broken instead of 2!!  

When I heard it from him, I was frozen for a while to imagine what if I rode very fast on the long down slope when the 4th spoke was broken!!??

Thank God!
