The commuter bike never goes out without guards.
The Audax bike only loses the guards when it comes to sunny places on holiday
The Bella Bianchi never wears guards because she’s never worn then in her 25 years and now never goes out unless it’s been dry for at least a week

Living in the West of Scotland means a very small window of opportunity when it comes to riding on dry roads.

I’ve swapped between winter bike and fast bike the last few weeks depending on the weather, usually for me it’s on the clock change, but still depends on the weather.
