It'll be mostly a couple miles to and from where I'm going in a city that's pretty much flat. It never snows and rains more than average compared to most places in the US. I don't need a water bottle holder or a rack and I'd prefer not to have fenders unless you guys think it'd be a good idea because of rain?
