Say No to Splashback

It’s a funny thing about bicycle fenders—they are definitely not sexy. But when it’s comin’ down, they’re just plain awesome.

With bike fenders, your shoes aren’t instantly filled by the front tire’s bow wave at the first puddle you cross. You’re no longer ingesting front tire spray (which you’ve probably noticed goes to precisely mouth height). Your backside and saddle aren’t splattered by back tire muck. And if you’re on a group ride, you’re suddenly a very popular wheel to follow since you’re not pelting the poor guy behind with splashback.

Fenders for bikes turn bad weather into a good time. And that’s a magical thing.
