You most definitely need fenders on your commuter, and mosdef not on anything else.

Head to toe waterproofs is what I used for years. In Dublin, Ireland, there were plenty of days when fenders wouldn't do half the job needed.

Petition to add an encouragement to wear helmets in the OP

No. The primary use of helmets is as a victim blaming tool. Helmet shaming results in fewer people taking up cycling.

Wear one yourself if you like.

The director of my local bike advocacy organisation (@nm, Sacramento) called my my bike a "POS" and I don't know what to do.

It's a 2017 aluminium Bianchi which I was explicitly advised in this thread against buying!

In my mind I should write a blog about how great my bike is. Like, it's great for getting to work and buying groceries.

// Lol, the replies to my earlier post are good. Obviously I didn't listen but that guy Hadlock offering to steal my bike to quicken the pain was funny.
