there are rack & trunk combos that you can buy together and they clip into each other. but I prefer generic racks so I can interchange trunks between bikes. in the old days ('70s) bikes and racks were very limited, so it wasn't a whole thing. nowadays it seems every bike has it's own issue and requires some thought. make your life easy and visit your LBS and ask what they have. bring your bike so they can see exactly what they are dealing with. it's too broad a topic I think to explain every possibility when you can save a lot of concentration by dealing with just the situation at hand. one tidbit I might share is if you have access to a car - try to stock up on supplies at the office once or twice a week, such as food and clothing so that you don't have to carry as much every day.

those bikes would like front braces that have a "L" shape to reach down to the screw holes. I recently ordered that kind for my wife's new/used Trek 7.3 FX. this is the rack. it might work for you but you might call Schwinn customer service for a recommendation

(mountain and hybrid bikes with frame sizes 18 inches and under, and road bike frames 54cm and under) they have other models of the same thing for larger frames. do you know the size of your frame? 13? 15? 18?
