Road bike and mountain bikes. Should I take them off today or will that trigger some old bloke with a beard to start building a boat?

I’m going to do it! There, you’ve been warned…

APF

Yup, safe to take them off.

It won’t rain again until autumn and the dogs will stop shitting on the paths.

I’ve never had any on… Perhaps that’s been the cause of the bad weather…?

Took mine off on Wednesday…… I wonder how long before they are back on!

The run up to my wife’s birthday (today)is always good.
Then due to a combination of bank holiday and Hastings Green Man parade the weather turns diabolical.
My mudguards are staying on!

Never had any on.
Toughen up, and cycle on…

you live in the uk, when is it ever safe to take mudguards off?

Who actually uses mudguards?!?!

I can understand for road / commuting but off road getting wet and muddy is half the fun!

Wet enough out this morning that I was glad to have left mine on due to not having time to take them off (this is on the road bike, I leave the Fender Bender thing on the MTB all year round). Seems to have dried up now I’m back home, typical.

For my commuter they never come off-i don’t see the point.

For my mtb they’re never on-i don’t see the point!

Same here. Permanent on the commuter, none on the road bikes, crud on seatpost of the mtb that I remove for transport anyway.

May leave the crud off later today 🙂

Do it, it might not be this dry and dusty again this year

While you’re at it the small block 8’s, racing ralphs or racekings should be going on as a pair!

I did it. All off all bikes. Didn’t realise I had so many!

Cut Gate was perfect today.

Please don’t (if you use them at all), it will start to rain if you do”

MUD GUARDS!!! mincers, its only a bit of water and dirt.

Looks like it might have been too soon. 😥

I don’t use ’em really but looking outside the window here this morning I’d say its too early!

They stay on my commuter all year round but today I wore shorts for the first time (and it rained).
