Mudguard

A bicycle mudguard

A mudguard, fender or wing is a part covering the wheels of a vehicle to stop it from throwing off mud, water or objects from the road. It protects people and property from dirtiness, dampness, and damage.

Mudguards protect in several ways:

1. They protect brakes and lights.
2. They protect the bicycle from getting rusted by mud and water.
3. They protect clothes from being dirty.
4. They protect from injuries.
