I have fendered and non-fendered bikes. The only problem with that is making the right choice on any given day. Here in Western Colorado, the Spring, especially under strong El Ninos, is our wet season. So its fender bikes most of the time. Early summer is our driest season. Then the monsoon in late July-September is when I often get cought unfendered in a torrent. We get less than 9 inches per year on average, but no year is average. And the surrounding hills and mountains, where I like to ride, get lots more.
