Thanks for your help.

I would like to find a Carradice someday. They sound very effective. I did order the Campmor last week. Now that the rains have stopped for a day or so, it will probably arrive.

Last week, Kansas City was forecast to have rain almost every day. That's why I started thinking I should finally order a cape, and put on some fenders. I only rode the bus one day, and on the way, realized I probably could have ridden my bike. The streets were wet, but with no standing water, serious moisture, or crud to soil me.

Last night, I started making a pair of fenders. I was going to buy a pair, but this sounded fun - not to mention, cheap. Instead of 2-liter bottles, though, I cut up a plastic bucket from our flower shop. It's thick and relatively stiff. Once I get them tested, I'll paint them black.
