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.
We need to find the way to ride not to get tired too much. I can't get faster, or ride longer any more.
When you are young, practice will bring a result that you are getting stronger, better, faster.. etc. I can't see such a wonderful result any more. Recently the more practice, the more getting tired, slower, and easier to get pain for me.
Maybe because I'm having a harder time to sleep. I wonder ....
Anyway we rode at least on our community roads to keep up with yesterday. Sep. 30th.
At least the temperature got much more comfortable nowadays. And it was fun to use my homemade rear seat trunk, no pouch around my waist was very comfortable!
So I decided to make his rear seat trunk too. Fortunately we have an ice chest with a color just right for his bicycle.
Voila!
He is happy with that.
So we had a good ride together today.
We were going to ride just 5 miles, but we noticed that we were fine if we pedal slowly.
This is my "Rear Seat Trunk bag!
Took off the strap and cut them to size. Sew them on to one side of bag. Sew on hard Velcro to the end of the 2 straps and sew soft Velcro to the other side of the bag to be easy to take on and off.
Unfortunately my left eye bleeding this morning by fatigue, so I was going to rest completely today. But I need to test the bag on a ride to see if my own design trunk bag works or not.
Just rode for 45 minutes, 6 miles.
My remake Rear Seat Trunk Bag worked very well!
