That is a funny picture! it almost looks like the bike is undamaged. In fact I believe the fender will pop right out and the wheel will be toast. That is exactly how that fender should behave; is there any benefit to it being tougher than that? Looks to me like a high recommendation for Chinese manufacturing.
