Oh, I got a rear fender - just haven't put it on yet. I'm going to have to take the rear wheel off to do so, and since my plan for this weekend is to take the back derailler apart anyway, that's when I'll install the fender.
Of course, it's supposed to rain all week here, so I think I'm screwed

New to the forum, and new to bike commuting too... actually haven't been on a bike much in eight years 'til now. Lucky riding a bike is one of those things you never forget, like, well, riding a bike.
Nice to see everyone's rides, getting some ideas on stuff to think about getting. Here's my Kona Smoke:
Pretty happy with it so far, except the fenders that came with it had these plastic bits around where the braces/struts attach to the frame, making it impossible to attach a rack. So I just got one that bolts on to the seatpost, which is quite all right since I've not much to carry round. Also added a basket, kickstand and some reflectors.
It's smooth, feels solid, not too heavy (only a fairly flat 10km commute each way) and I really like the plain blackness of it - simple, nothing flashy, no massive springs or shocks, so it doesn't look too bizarre eg if I'm business-dressed or riding in uniform (Navy). Wish I could find a chainguard so the front cogs wouldn't catch my pants all the time, but otherwise, pretty happy.
"This could be a bait bike - victoriapolice.ca" Here in Victoria the police put out "bait bikes" - just like bait cars, they park them somewhere theft-prone and if someone steals it, they track them down and arrest them. They also give out stickers to put on your bike to make would-be thieves think twice before taking yours, even though it's not really a bait bike. Or is it?

Just wanted to say that there are some fine bikes here. I got S&S couplers installed when I bought it.
My commuter got an upgrade this year to a Rivendell Rambouillet.

My resurrected college ride, ca. 1993. Heavy metal.
Edit: folding bike in black, for when I want to go places and want to take my bike with me.
