Fenders keep your Brompton bike from being a clothes rack

I got soaked on my Brompton bike today! My morning commute left me with a whole wardrobe of wet clothes. It ended up looking more like a clothes rack than a folding bicycle! It's important to consider whether riding in the rain will factor into your folding bicycle purchase.

With a Brompton folding bicycle you have the option of adding fenders to the bike when ordering. I would recommend this to 99% of our customers with the only exception being those who will seldom get on the seat and take hold of the handlebars. Think about puddles! No one wants a wet butt. :) So, when you build a custom Brompton bike be sure to add fenders - or not (your choice!).
