'78 Raleigh Competition

I live in Southern California but i still think i need some fenders. I figured especially since summer is coming up it could wait. However it seems that with daylight savings, everyones sprinklers started to turn on at 7 when i leave for work, instead of at 8 when i get to work. And i mean EVERYONE! it sucks there are huge gutters full of nasty water everywhere! And there is an underpass that is the fastest route to work that is infested with pigeons, so it is COVERED thick with bird poo.

my point being, its not only fresh fallen rain that fenders protect you from. something i am learning the hard way lol.
