An ode to fenders!

There are people in this world who do not appreciate fenders on a bicycle.  They say they make a bike look dorky, clunky, and complain of the weight they add.  I heartily disagree and today I am far drier because of these marvels.


So without further ado....

Fenders are flashy and curved just right.  Fenders protect from the slush that arrives in the night.  Fenders you say slow me down, take away.  At least my rear end is quite dry today.

The streets in my neighborhood this morning.

Fenders in action!

Ok, so I might not be publishing as a poet any time soon.  But all the weight weenies and guys who think fenders aren't necessary in Nevada have a rear end that looks like a giant skid mark this morning.
