New to all things cycling, but just bought this bike from State:
I love it and am hoping to use it to commute to work/ to run errands around my city. I'm trying to figure out what rear rack (for panniers) and front rack (for a simple basket) would work with this and am overwhelmed with options.
Will any of these work?

and I don't know where to start with Topeak: https://www.topeak.com/us/en/products/91-Racks
Any help or pointing me in the right direction is greatly appreciated!

I bought a topeak used on marketplace for like $35. It came with 2 panniers and a clip in bag. It’s been great! Panniers rule. Maybe check used spaces online if you want to try to save some money.
That’s my advice.
Topeak Supertourist or Explorer. Done tens of thousands of miles on mine without issue. Regardless of rack brand use loctite 242 or 243 on any threads going into frame ( including water bottle cages)!!
