    fenders are important

    Yesterday my DH went on a ride with some of his friends. Can you tell from the photo which one had a front fender and which one didn't?

    hmmmm - I've only got a short front fender and I've never been that muddy..... me thinks he was riding behind someone with no rear fender (or at least no buddy flap.. not much of a buddy)

    I love my fenders. They are the accessory I use the most on my LHT. And I have awesome mud flaps too! bikerHen

    nope, he most certainly went through muddy sandy crud and threw it up with his own front tire. Eden, your little front fender is better than NO fender.

    I wasn't there myself but I have excellent witnesses.
