I love the fenders. Bikes today don’t have fenders. When I was a youngster all regular bikes came with fenders. But if you ride a bike today you end up with a dirty line up your back where the tire throws the rain and dirt from the road.
“I love the fenders.”
Fender:
late 13cent., shortening of “defender”.
