We had a fair amount of rain last night so the streets were wet and covered with leaves and debris. I was consciously working on looking far down the road and anticipating the moves of other road users (I'm in such a good mood right now I won't even call them cagers). I'm VERY pleased with my full fenders. The bike was mostly clean, and I only had a few tiny splatters on my shoes and tights. And now the sun has come out, so we I may have dry streets for the ride home.
Saw my twin on H Street this morning: another guy in roadie kit riding a converted fixie with fenders. It's the perfect wet season commuter, in my opinion. I'm apparently not the only one.
