Fall riding tip you don't hear very often:
π Pay extra attention to shaded sections of your route.
As mornings get cooler, shaded pavement can stay damp longer than the road around it β especially under trees or near irrigated landscaping.
Add early fallen leaves and you've got a surface that can be surprisingly slick.
Slow down before the corner, not while you're in it.
Very German advice: efficiency is good. Traction is better. π©πͺ

SKS fenders help keep the spray off your back, your bike and the person riding behind you.
Because βI didnβt think it was going to rainβ is not a stain-removal strategy.

Your bike does not have to look like it rode through a swamp just because the road was damp.
Fenders help reduce the constant spray of grit, water and road grime that ends up on your frame, drivetrain and clothes.

You checked the weather last night.
0% chance of rain.
You walk outside at 8 AM.
Road: wet.
Bike: clean.
Your pants: about to have a very bad morning.
This is why commuters run fenders. π
SKS fenders help keep road spray where it belongs β off you and your bike.
Because walking into class with a stripe of road grime up your back is one way to make an entrance.
Just not the one we'd

Before Monday morning gets Monday-ish...
Give your bike 60 seconds.
Tires look good? Pressure ok?
Brakes feel good?
No loud chain?
Any rattles?
One minute tonight can save you from standing next to your bike tomorrow morning saying words we probably shouldn't put on Instagram.
Your bike doesn't need a full inspection every morning.
It just appreciates a little attention.
