Too bad you are so insecure.

You've got the wrong fenders. Or possibly the wrong grandparents.

The right fenders:

Yeah, but as they said in the April 1909 issue of my club's
newsletter: "It does not pay to flirt with the girls at Rockville
Center, does it Schuber?"

Are you saying that JFT and Fogle have known each other for centuries?

Dear Carl, page 7:

"Jos. Fogler is reported to be after Kramer's cork and will, if
possible, take the championship honors from him. Whether Mr. Fogler can
do the trick or not the attempt will create considerable interest."

My club is 112 years old I think. And I used to belong to an older
cycling club than that.

So, you like to attach things to your bicycle with knotted inner
tubes, cool. (not)

In case I need to carry something big and awkward on my rack (like
another bike, or a folding chair, or whatever I pick up that day) I
keep a dozen or so Velcro One-Wraps stored around my seat tube. The
wide kind, like so:

http://www.itapestore.com/index.asp?...=Custom&ID=115

They work much better than nylon cable ties (which fatigue and break
under dynamic loads) or bungie cords (which make up for their limited
range of length, by having too much elasticity.) If you need extra
length just chain more together.

I use 1/8" to 1/4" braided cotton cord to tie down loads,
but rather than trying to belay the line to the rack
while maintaining tension, I use a bungee cord between
the working end of the line and the rack. Quick to make
fast and quick to remove.

Not bad, I've never seen that type before. I wonder how they'd look in
clear acrylic?

Looks kind of flimsy on the attachment side. I'm sure you would also
need a mud flap on the front, but it probably couldn't take the added
mass.
