As helpful as traditional bike fenders are, they can still be much easier to use; the Quickfix Mudguard features a minor tweak that improves it immensely. Instead of the classic rounded shape, or even a stiff-like tail, the Quickfix Mudguard is inspired by the origami art form. This shape, working in tandem with the bike frame itself, gives this mudguard a much more rigid form, allowing it to protect the rider from flying raindrops and dirt even more.
Created by Full Windsor, a London-based bicycle accessories design company, the Quickfix Mudguard not only clips on and off easily, it also folds flat for easy storage. Thus, a rider who hates the more permanent bike fender options out there can now benefit from a convenient temporary one.
