Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads Of course, in my haste to get all suited up and ready, and then put on my fender for just such occasions, I put it on backwards. I noticed before I left, but I had to meet my partner on time so I just went with it. Happy Friday. by fergal-dude Bicycling Bike Bike Commuting Biking Commuting Cycling
Joose__bocks on May 15, 2026 11:51 am Sorry I stupidly said that fender is backward before reading your comment. I was so proud of myself, too. Just say the fender is correct, but the rest of the bike is backward.
-nyctanassa- on May 15, 2026 11:56 am actually the fender is fine. it’s the rest of the bike that’s backwards.
Express-Welder9003 on May 15, 2026 12:27 pm Good thing is it’ll only take a minute or two to reinstall it correctly.
Heat_master69 on May 15, 2026 12:28 pm Any problem leaving it on when it’s not raining? Seems like a huge hassle to take it on and off all the time

MUDGUARD!! Fenders are what Americans call car bumpers.

Haha. I could totally see myself doing that.
This is a Monday morning vibe
