So you have a budget of about $0 and you don’t want mud on your jacket, what do you do? Well, by using an old corrugated plastic sign and some zip ties you can make a really simple bike fender. OK, it may not be the prettiest fender I’ve seen, but it still has a lot of charm in its simplicity.

there should be a site dedicated to things you can make out of old “for sale” signs. Wind generator, model boat, automata, bike fender…
There is, it’s makezine.com! :)
If you’re going to do it, do it right!

Those are some serious fenders & panniers! Thanks for the link.
plastic rain gutters work great too. home depot/lowes – for a few dollars, make them for yourself and friends! ;-)
Plenty of them up the street, been there for 4+ years, doubtful that the houses are really saleable, and the signs are starting to fade.
You’re a freaking genius. It just started raining and i’m broke and fenderless. now i can get to work without mud all over me!
