Yeah it was a great bike, I just wish I had found this forum well before I went on that trip. The rack was a seatpost rack, worst purchase ever, stabilized with a conveniently bent steel bar i found lying around, screw clamped to the rack, taped like madness to the frame. Theres a pair of collapsible baskets on the rack that you can't see too well. All of it held together with bungies.
Bent the kickstand out of shape with the weight.
I did have a couple gatorade bottles strapped to the cages on the back. The red thing you see just below the seat is a bottle holster with a strap to sling it over your shoulder, nice for walks and hiking, (which we did, summited a mountain), and fits a gator bottle nicely, another on the other side.
A real hack job for my first time out but it held up.
