Post your homemade fenders (or other homemade wintery stuff)
Hey everyone,
Just rigged up a sweet rear fender that I wanted to show off. Still working on a solution for the front end.
The plastic is from a large laundry detergent jug, heated over the stove and shaped a little bit (hand crafted, very hip). Zip ties and coat hangers hold it in place.
Show off your creations if you have a good one!

Nice up-cycle of the dinosaur material.

Ok, rigged up something for the front too. Plastic came from an old protien tub, zip tied into place with some inner tube to protect the frame.
Also, the rear fender failed catastrophicaly so I had to replace the coat hangers and make them vertical.
