cycling in the dark and cold/wet

Fit FULL mudguards.

Road water spray contains all sort of shoot.

Oils and diesel that has been dropped from trucks has been noted to be
carcinogenic.

A rural ride like mine has mud, animal droppings and animal remains on it.
I don't want to ingest that from water splash in my face.

Wot Jimbo saith.

I can see the practicality of mudguards but everything I've ever encountered suggests they are just a form of extreme snobbery. So get mudguards if you won't, don't if you don't want.

Waheyyyy. I got some mudguards! I no longer ingest the spray off the front wheel, and the little mudflap looks so cute! I also had a great time bodging the stays onto the fat carbon forks with handlebar mounts from reflectors. Perfect bodge. The back was brilliant fun as well, trying to feed the stays round the brake calipers.

Lit, you do appear to be determined to hack people off. Is it becoming a habit?
