Ill admit I was warned...

[GW's Motorized]

Just to start off with, fenders look sick, but they come at a price.

I love the look of fenders on a bike, and I would love to keep them, but I should have taken the 5 or 10 minutes to reinforce mine.

My bike is an older Huffy Newport. It's an amazing frame, and it has fenders.

I was headed down the road going 35 when with zero warning my bike started skidding almost like socks on tile. It went for almost an entire block. My rear fenders had busted off its mount and bound up the rear wheel and went under it. Now my rear wheel is screwed and the almost brand new tire.

These are the pictures

This is what it did to my fender

the actual frame itself did

Ok. I fixed that edit...lol.

I know why that rear fender broke off...lol...The "new to you" rear carrier bags ya got at the pawn shop...They cursed your bike when you put them on because they were so cheap to buy...lol.

Well at least this time around, maybe you will try out what I got for a bike...Hyper Beach Cruiser...It is built more rugged than the Huffy's.

Robot or human?

I was already looking at one, however I can't afford one at the moment. It sucks being an unemployed high schooler

I have had both a Huffy and now the Hyper, better built/better welded, thicker, larger tubing, No real vibration felt through the frame at high speeds, more comfortable riding overall.

Every fast food joint around here has help wanted signs out, starting at $15 an hour.

I don't really have the time to work, and I don't want to work fast food. Fast food is way too much drama from what my sister has told me.

Get used to it, there is gonna be "drama queens" no matter where you work...I saw it in the Police Departments and I saw it in the Valvoline garages I supervised all up and down the east coast, It's just the way things are and the way people can be unfortunately... Maturity, accountability, responsibilty, etc, are all lost virtues anymore.

That must of been something, sliding down the road on your fender. Lucky it didn't happen in a turn.
Glad your OK.

My Whizzer rear fender is mounted in 4 spots, 2 mounts and 2 U braces,

Yeah, when I buy a new frame I'm going to make sure that fender isn't going anywhere. You live and you learn.
