My wife's fenders are thin aluminum (veloorange ones) and are easily bent and wouldn't bounce back like plastic would. We just throw her bike in the hatch which is ok for the time being i guess. The prob with putting the bike i the hatch though is that we can't leave the front fender on because the handlebars need to turn 90deg withe the front wheel off. So for now she has only the rear fender. blarg.
