- Whose Boardwalk?
- This one has me stumped for a while: whitewall tyres, chain guard, kick-stand, and mudguards and rack that look like they’re factory fitted. It even has woowoowoo’s favourite anti-theft device: the wicker handlebar basket. Anyway, not a bad little city runabout.

I wouldn’t want you to think that I’ve got a fender fixation but here’s another DIY mudguard, this one by Kent Peterson.- Bicycle cargo trailer—”200 lb capacity, $30 for parts”. (it’s an oldie, but I don’t think I’ve linked it before.)
