For the avid biker, wheel guards are a must, as the wheel-fitted devices offer to protect clothes against the mud and rain water that bike wheel's can project onto one's back. Although popular, the designs of these devices are typically lacking in creativity, featuring a form that follows its function. UK-based Timothy Davis aimed to create bike fenders that were both practical and stylish, enhancing the facade of one's bike, while catching dirt and grime.
Complete with a wooden finish, these wheel guards are both easy to assemble and pleasant to look at. Deviating from the standard metal and plastic designs, this original product adds an element of simple beauty to one's bike. The light wood is sure to complement any bicycle frame, eliciting a vintage vibe while offering much needed protection from dirty city streets, and muddy country roads.
