Short story- I recently moved from Cali to Seattle Wa - I live in town, ride around town, out of town, exploring and commuting. I've read a lot of info on Seattle bike blogs, etc - most sites recommend full coverage fenders.
Question - For those of you who ride in cities, do you care about full fenders? Or is it good enough to just have enough coverage to keep yourself from getting drenched?
The perplexing part for me, when I ask most local shops what fenders they suggest they all say full fenders. I've never been concerned about fenders in past (cali), wasnt concerned much in Seattle either, till I started reading the blogs, all which say to be considerate of other commuters and peds, use full fenders. I'm just curious do most people who ride in cities actually care or is it just one of those things everyone tells you to be "PC"?
Thanks
