I almost forgot this bike existed. I bought a used Huffy at a garage sale for $15.00.
I added foam core fiberglass fenders to it, just so I'd have some practice fiberglassing.

This fiberglass is only three layers thick where it is wrapped around the frame, and only one or two layers thick overall, so I wouldn't recommend standing on them. But how many bicycle fenders can you stand on?

Looks like it's going to take off any moment.
I bet a lot of kids could sit on those fenders at the same time.
