Oh, and mine is all pimped out with silver fenders fore and aft.
The fenders'll help riding in the rain. Keep you from spraying water up your backside... Man I used to hate that.
That's really cool for you... Very inspiring.... guilt-inspiring that is! :~) Is it a road bike only or you can go on a trail ride with us this summer?
Ooh...stylin'.
Fenders are nice, though, for the reason Hair gave. Though...when we used to bike in Germany, part of the goal sometimes ended up becoming who could get muddiest.
And they have red clay dirt. Took a lotta bleach to get socks white again.
Good times, good times.
Not nearly that in shape anymore. And as I discovered on the trail ride we went on this summer, I'm a lot more cautious than I used to be. Don't find it nearly as easy to go full tilt down a sandy, root-covered hill as I used to. Yipe!
