Maybe I should look into getting galoshes instead of fenders? Especially so as a rear fender would interfere somewhat with the bike's foldability.
Food for thought. Thanks again.
Try a set of these cheapies from Amazon. I spotted them here in the forum awhile back, as one of the people here where using them. They're very minimal, easy to remove when necessary, and keep the wet and crud off adequately. Pretty solid for around $10,...
