Short winter errands are the exact situation where fenders make the most sense.. You don't have to worry about changing clothes or getting wet, plus speed is unimportant so a bit of extra weight is 0% an issue. Pitting and rust don't matter. Anyhoo, riding a bike in the winter is pretty much a death sentence for the bike. Don't believe me? Ride it for the winter then get back to me in the Spring to tell me how the bike is doing.
