Therefore, I really like my fenders.<br /><br />Those photos in the Pyrenees are outstanding!

Back in the day when I was a Category 1 racer I lived where it rained more and on training rides I'd always use fenders if it was wet. What did I care if it wasn't cool? Come race day I'd reply with my legs!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938379025774754317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-27851334221981229862011-10-19T02:11:49.657+01:002011-10-19T02:11:49.657+01:00I love my fenders, and am considering adding them ...I love my fenders, and am considering adding them to some other bikes. I know of no drawbacks except that image is everything, and the image of fenders in general is that one would not ride them in the Tour de France, therefore not cool.John Romeo Alphahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289456379789026152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-60916528176968621622011-10-19T01:28:43.105+01:002011-10-19T01:28:43.105+01:00I so enjoy going through your write-ups and pictur...I so enjoy going through your write-ups and pictures. It is nothing like what I experience over here in Northern Wisconsin. Very interesting. Thanks for that! <br /><br />I find myself riding the heavy cross bike more often than my lighter road bikes. I don't pump the tires as often, it rides smoother and it is good training for when I do get out on the road bike.rlove2bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782706385799656897noreply@blogger.com
