IBS Simple Fenders

A bicycle fender is a device that is attached to the front and/or rear wheel of a bicycle. Its main purpose is to protect the rider from water, mud, dirt, and other debris that may be thrown up by the rotating wheels.

Fenders are typically made of lightweight and durable materials such as plastic, aluminum, or steel. They have a curved shape that wraps around the wheel, creating a barrier between the tires and the rider. This design prevents water and dirt from splashing onto the rider and their clothing, keeping them clean and dry during wet or muddy rides.

Some fenders also have additional features such as mud flaps or extensions that provide extra protection from spray and splatter. They are usually attached to the bicycle frame or fork using brackets, clips, or bolts, and can be easily installed or removed based on the weather conditions or personal preference.

Overall, bicycle fenders are an essential accessory for commuters, recreational riders, and cyclocross cyclists who want to keep themselves and their bikes cleaner and more comfortable, especially in wet or dirty conditions.
