Mudguards keep you drier and more comfortable. Unless it’s raining hard, most of the wetness you feel when riding without mudguards is likely to have come from the road and your tyres.

If you’re riding year-round, make sure you have some of the best bike lights to keep you safe too. That’s especially true in winter when water tends to stay on the roads for longer.
