Knotted- I like that Schwinn, too, that's why I linked it Kinda wish it were a 3 speed, though.
Good idea on tucking the corners in. I don't really need much more space to get a good up-stroke. I did realize today that when I crest the hill by my house the wind coming from the west (is that called a westerly?) blew the corners into my spokes. Yech. At the time I was trying to pass a kid walking in the bike lane and the sound made me think my whole rack was going to fall off into traffic
Plus, there were some studly cyclists coming down the hill opposite me- I wanted to show off my guns but the racket from my bags was ruining my game
